Julian has been a dancer with New York Theatre Ballet since December 2018. Julian has performed in masterworks by Richard Alston, Frederick Ashton, Merce Cunningham, David Gordon, José Limón, Jerome Robbins, Pam Tanowitz, Antony Tudor, as well as new work by contemporary choreographers like James Whiteside, Nicolo Fonte, Bridgman|Packer, Amanda Treiber, and Antonia Franseschi. Julian also dances with New York Baroque Dance Company and Boston Early Music Festival where he performs Baroque and Renaissance dance forms. Julian’s practice in historical dances alternates focus between presenting these dance forms with an attention to historical accuracy and engaging with history from a contemporary lens to present them with a twist. In May 2023, Julian performed Baroque dance at Lincoln Center with choreography by Caroline Copeland. In May 2024, Julian served as Assistant Choreographer for Opera Lafayette’s production of Les Fêtes de Thalie at the Kennedy Center, dancing alongside New York Baroque Dance Company dancers and Kalanidhi Dance.

Julian trained at Manhattan Youth Ballet and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at American Ballet Theatre, where he was the second and last recipient of the David Hallberg Scholarship in 2013. Julian graduated Summa Cum Laude from Hofstra University in 2019 with a double major in Dance and Political Science, and minors in Asian Studies and World Literature. Committed to fostering inclusivity and accessibility in the arts, Julian dedicated two years to teaching dance to adults with disabilities at Hofstra in collaboration with AHRC Nassau. The son of an immigrant mother, Julian is fluent in both French and English, and draws on his French roots in his work.
