MEET JULIANE

Juliane Godfrey is a multi-faceted Broadway performer, arts educator, and self-proclaimed “Heartist” committed to making Art with Heart – art that seeks to promote joy, empathy, and social justice.

She made her Broadway debut as the Dance Captain/Swing of SpongeBob Squarepants (OBC; Dir. Tina Landau) in which she performed and taught the majority of 21 roles. She has traveled the U.S. extensively performing in the first national tours of Beetlejuice (Dir. Alex Timbers), Lincoln Center’s My Fair Lady (Dir. Bartlett Sher), and Something Rotten! (Dir. Casey Nicholaw). Regionally, her credits include: Goodspeed Opera House (where she earned her Equity card as a tap-dancing mouse under the direction of Dame Julie Andrews), Center Theatre Group (Ahmanson), Paper Mill Playhouse, Arena Stage, Sacramento Music Circus, the Muny, Stages St. Louis, the John W. Engeman, New York Musical Theater Festival, the Depot Theatre, and the Woodstock Playhouse.

As a dance teacher/choreographer, she has taught for 20+ performing arts organizations and schools including Starstruck Theatre, the Performing Arts Project, Fifth Row Center, Bella Dance Academy, Transcendence Theatre Co, Irvington Conservatory Theater, and more. She recently completed Sony’s Teaching Artist program through the Entertainment Community Fund, and is currently developing her own “Rap & Tap” curriculum, combining poetry + percussion to stress the importance of storytelling out loud and in motion. 

In 2023, Juliane’s solo show I Won’t Dance (Don’t Make Me Sing) premiered at Icons in Colorado Springs, and has since been produced at the Bourbon Room in Los Angeles and in conjunction with Starstruck Theatre in the Bay Area. As a singer-songwriter, her EP Love Note to Self is streaming on all platforms in addition to her single “Love Gone Viral” and a children’s song “Show Me Your Soul” (co-written/performed by Richard Riaz Yoder) on the Vasthy & Friends album Sing, Dance, Play. Additionally, she was the original music director of UCLA’s Signature A Cappella, and was a featured arranger, soloist, and vocal percussionist on their debut albums: Take Flight and A Little Louder. 

Originally from the Bay Area, Juliane is a proud UCLA alum (B.A. Theater)  and recently completed her Journalism certificate from UCLA Extension. She currently resides in Los Angeles where she enjoys long beach bike-rides and hunting for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
