Untold Story #87: Meet Julia Bengtsson

World's Greatest Women

Today’s woman felt like she grew up in a cocoon in Sweden.  Things seemed wonderful and everyone was equal.  The family were big chess players so her existence was very intellectual. But at age 5, she got her first taste of performing on a stage and she loved it. The air seemed to clear and she felt connected to people in a way she couldn’t describe. As her grew into a young woman, the arts became part of her life. Ballet was where she shined and by age 10 she became part of the Royal Swedish Ballet School. Over the years she has become an accomplished ballet dancer and choreographer as she uses her talents to help her and others make sense of the world around them. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Julia Bengtsson.
