“In April 2024 I choreographed Julia’s Short Program to the “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol in a cover by Tommee Profit..We were talking about the music video where singer is lying on the crossroads in front of the cars and about the emotions that a person could feel in that moment…
“If I lay here if I just lay here … would you lay with me and forget the world … “
“Julia lost her life waiting on the crossroads in front of the cars ….Was it a sign ?
“Why such an angel had such a short life?
“These weekend I’ve heard this song in a competition and I couldn’t hide my emotions … I cried … I’m crying … I refuse to accept it.. she was a true angel living among us … maybe we don’t deserve her … maybe the world is too cruel for such an angel like Julia …
