Instructor Biography
Joelle has been teaching in Santa Rosa since 2003. She has worked to build a local flamenco community where students can enjoy flamenco parties, performance opportunities, work with professional musicians, and learn together in a safe and fun environment.
Joelle's refreshing approach to teaching involves character building exercises, translating the understanding of complex flamenco rhythms, and helping to reveal each students unique strengths. She has received awards from the Sonoma Arts Council and most recently she was granted a generous gift through the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Relief Fund, a COVID relief grant through The Alliance for California Traditional Arts. In 2009 she received a personal letter from Cirque du Soleil talent scout, Guilio Scatola, requesting her audition (after seeing her perform at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts) for the production of Ka.
Joelle returns to Spain regularly to further her dance training. The classes she teaches in Santa Rosa are based on smaller portions of the choreography she learns there. "I bring Spain back with me so that I can share the joy that I am so fortunate to experience."
