About me
Julia Boggio is a professional photographer, writer and recent mother. In 2007, she and her husband James put their Dirty Dancing first dance up on You Tube to share with friends back in America (18 months after they actually married in 2005). Two days later, they were featured in the Metro, followed closely by appearances on ITV news, Richard & Judy, and BBC News as well as articles in newspapers across the world. They were also flown out to Chicago to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show, where Julia realised every woman’s dream and danced with Patrick Swayze himself. This blog is the story of what happened next.
