Meet the Staff
 Julie Osmon, CEO, Dance Instructor, Gymnastics Instructor |
Julie began her gymnastics training at the age of 6, and quickly grew a love for the sport. She was a competitive gymnast for 10 years for the Gemini Gymnastics team in Clearwater Florida, placing in regional and state championships. She also traveled with her team throughout the state performing in gymnastics exhibitions.
Julie's dance training began as a supplement to her gymnastics career, and later developed into a love for the art. She trained for Ballet under Delores Fagherty in Clearwater Florida, and in her early teen years became interested in Jazz, where she performed at the Suncoast Academy of Dance in Clearwater Florida and was a member of the Dance Company.
Julie joined the Kids 'N Motion staff in 2000 as dance and gymnastics director and took ownership when Kelly Harrington retired.
