Mr. Joel (as his dance students call him) has a multi-faceted background which includes performing in musicals, plays, video, film, modeling and radio. He fondly remembers his first performance on stage…. as a singing and dancing marshmallow. It’s been uphill all the way! Proving the adage “you’re never too old to dance”, Joel started studying at 17 years old. He has never been the same! Since his humble beginnings, Joel has performed with and choreographed for many regional theatre companies. His favorite shows include “George M” (playing George), “Crazy for You” (playing Bobby) and “Jesus Christ Superstar” (direction). Another favorite was performing in a touring production of “The Nutcracker”. Over the years, Joel has worked or studied with many great teachers but his favorite tap teacher is still Christine! Joel feels fortunate to have worked with Christine C. Seger, his wife & partner in their dance studio for 22 years. They continue to work together at Vanilla Box Productions.
