Last night, our dance leaders had the opportunity to learn from Jessica Wyatt of Autism Society NL, who presented on autism acceptance and understanding.

As many know, we try to make our programs as accessible as possible, and that means equipping our dance leaders with the knowledge and tools to better support neurodivergent dancers.

Dance is for everyone! 🤍

Get to know Amelia, one of our talented teachers at Corner Brook Dance Hub! 🤍

Originally from Calgary, Alberta she now calls Corner Brook home. Amelia began dancing over 20 years ago, training extensively and competing in tap, jazz, ballet, musical theatre and lyrical. She earned her Advanced 2 with Distinction from the Royal Academy of Dance. Amelia went on to pursue dance and musical theatre at Randolph College for Performing Arts in Toronto. After graduation she has performed, choreographed and taught both nationally and internationally. Along with her colleague she developed and taught the inaugural year of a performing arts program for Kindergarten to Grade 3 in Amman, Jordan. Since teaching over seas she has had the opportunity to tour North America as the dance captain and swing with shows like Disenchanted, Evil Dead: The Musical and We Will Rock You.

In 2016 she came to Newfoundland for the first time to perform and choreograph for The Stephenville Theatre Festival and absolutely fell in love with the province that she’s returned almost every summer since. She has a passion for teaching and inspiring the next generation of dancers and performers and is so grateful and excited to be a part of the amazing arts community in Corner Brook!

Q: What is your favourite form of dance to teach/dance?
My favourite style of dance to teach and perform is tap. You get to not only dance to the music but also add to it as a musician with your taps!

Q: What song can't you resist dancing to?
A song I can’t help but dance to would be Blame it On The Boogie by Michael Jackson. When it comes on I just can’t control my feet!

A huge congratulations to Joël on receiving the Roberta Thomas Legacy Award!

We’re so grateful to have Joël as part of The Corner Brook Dance Hub team, and to witness the creativity and passion they bring to their work and to our dancers. Well deserved! 🤍

We are so excited to introduce our 2026 Roberta Thomas Legacy Award Recipient: Joël Azevedo ()

Joël is a contemporary dance artist based in Corner Brook, NL / ktaqmkuk. Their practice spans choreography and performance, dramaturgy and stage management, and more recently administration and producing. They lead with curiosity and love unknotting knots, whether fibrous, logistical or creative. Their practice is firmly rooted in contemporary dance and dance-theatre, but their research and training also includes forms like karaoke, zumba, social dance, and arts leadership - as well as being influenced by clowning and devising. Joël gravitates toward collaborative and community-engaged processes.

This 2026 Roberta Thomas Legacy Award supports the development of a template for “dancing autobiographies”; a creative framework inviting people to explore and communicate their stories, memories, pleasures, fears and hopes through movement. The project grows from Joël’s interest in dance as a form of communication beyond spoken language and their commitment to accessibility, collaboration and community engagement. The award will support initial research and development with collaborators in Corner Brook, NL.
