Ballet 4 Sports

Julia Spivak is a professional choreographer who has dedicated her career to helping athletes and coaches grow their artistic confidence in all artistic sports: gymnastics, figure skating, and artistic (synchronized) swimming. Gymnastics, in particular, has always been in front focus since she graduated from the University of Calgary Dance/Kinesiology program. Many years of experience and passion for artistic gymnastics led her to be a well-known Canadian choreographer.

The Ballet4sports program, created by Julia Spivak, is everything you need to take your coaching and training to the next level. Julia has choreographed thousands of memorable routines, educated many coaches and gymnasts worldwide, and worked with numerous great professionals at elite levels in the industry. She is eager to share her knowledge and over 25 years of experience with each of you.

Being a choreographer for gymnastics requires a specific skill set that only some dance professionals can offer.  It’s not enough to be creative or have a great dance technique.  Working with athletes requires the body knowledge of a physiotherapist, the personality understanding of a psychologist, the ability to recognize sports specifics like coaches do, and the ability to view routines the way judges see them.
