ngelina Joy Emanuele AKA Miss Joy from THE JOY HOUSE

PLease see http://www.thejoyhouse.com Miss Joy is Angelina Joy Emanuele, who is a professional dancer, singer, choreographer and songwriter. She has been performing all around the world since she was 12 years old. By 20, she had studied at the prestigious Princess Grace Ballet School in Monte Carlo, performed in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS, produced and directed her own dance company, choreographed and appeared in major commercials, danced in ballet companies in Australia and Europe, won Best Photographic Model and was Australia’s National ‘Flashdance’ Finalist. She also taught in Australia, at some the top dance schools, all styles of dance, which is something she has ALWAYS had a passion for …….teaching and inspiring others.

In the early 90’s she spent time in London writing and recording with Geoff Beauchamp (guitarist for Patsy Kinset’s 8th Wonder.) After a meeting with Michael Rosenblatt (VP Warner Bros.) in 1991, who said her material was really strong and suggested that her sound was more for the US, she decided to give America a try. She had many meetings with record companies but at that time there was already a Madonna and Paula Abdul and Grunge was coming in. It was not good timing……so she just wrote and wrote and decided to start something new! During the late 90’s she created and performed her one woman rock cabaret show “Single Girl’, which had great reviews, she had songs placed in major TV shows and movies and she got back into teaching dance to kids, using only her own music. It was from seeing the kid’s response to her music, when she taught, that inspired her to create THE JOY HOUSE. She also saw the lack of exercise in children’s lives, lack of inability to entertain themselves in constructive and creative ways, and the constant exposure to sex and violence in the media and music. She saw a big need for a creative, happy, innocent, positive, entertaining place and time for all kids of all social classes and religions, a place to inspire them and where they would not get bored. So she devoted her talent, time and creativity to children and it is by song by song, dance by dance, class by class and show by show, touching kids and families lives daily, that she has created THE JOY HOUSE FOR KIDS which is now a reality and has now become a great artistic and creative outlet for this amazingly talented girl and it NOW has become her business. She loves working with kids. She finds it truly fulfilling. The kids give her joy and she, in turn, gives them joy. To love what you do in life is the greatest joy.

So with years of experience in dancing, music, stage, theatre, television and recording studios, she has found a way to combine education and entertainment in a unique, inspiring and responsible way. It definitely was not in her plans when she came to the USA in 1991 but that is when the greatest ideas happen and evolve. Through struggle, by having to find ways to survive, by being resourceful and resilient but hopefully still being able to live out your dreams. Joy has found her way. She is bringing back the lost innocence to children through her songs, her television show, pre and after school programs, children’s birthday parties and the internet. TJH is a place where kids can escape to, learn and have fun. A place where children will find the opportunity to build their own “Joy House” in their own lives and find what makes them feel special and free to fly to live out their dreams too. This is THE JOY HOUSE.
