Though dancing since early childhood, Julee Gallagher found her favorite discipline in Belly Dance around the age of 10 when she accompanied her mother to a class. After taking a few years off to start her family, Julee returned to dance professionally 8 years ago, helping to establish the Citywide Dance Company of Detroit, becoming an instructor at several facilities, and performing in multiple traveling dance companies, including Rhythm Fusion Dance, of which she is owner and director.
