Joel Hanna @ Ottawa's CanDance Convention


What happens when you mix rhythm tap with rock and rock and then throw in some irish flavor? You get Joel Hanna, of course. Joel, a Vancouver dancer, taught the tap component at this year's Candance convention. His routines featured fast, tight footwork set to 80s rock music, all while maintaining the quiet relaxed upper body characteristic of irish dancers. Joel's been a starring in many productions, including Riverdance, Dancing on Dangerous Ground, Fire of Dance, and Revolution. Joel is a very approachable guy and hopefully we'll get him back in Ottawa sometime soon.

Here's a picture of Joel with some of our dancers as well links to some of his performances.
