Julie Kavanagh was trained as a dancer at the Royal Ballet School. She also graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree (first class honours) in 1980.
Kavanagh started her career as a ballerina, performing with a company in Cape Town, while she was still a student of the Royal Ballet School. As a result of injury, she gave up dancing and began a career in journalism. Her first job was with British Vogue, and for three years she worked as London Editor of Women's Wear Daily and W.
In 1977 she went to Oxford and for the next decade, she worked as Arts Editor of Harpers & Queen, and as dance critic of The Spectator. Under Tina Brown's editorship, she was London Editor for Vanity Fair, and then of The New Yorker until 1997 when she began to research the life of Rudolf Nureyev. As a result, her book, the official biography, was published in 2005.
