Using his dance, theatre, and fitness background, Joseph Corella has traveled the globe, spreading his love and understanding of the importance of movement to such places as Japan, France, England, and Canada, as well as dozens of cities across the United States. Joseph’s connection to movement started in his early childhood with extensive training in jazz, tap, contemporary, and ballet. At thirteen, he became a member of famed choreographer Marguerite Derricks’ prestigious dance company, Tremaine Teen Company, and shortly thereafter appeared in Disney’s Geppetto alongside pop superstar Usher.
In 1997, Joseph was named American Dance Awards’ Teen Male Dancer of the Year. Soon after, the band Tropic Zone was created around Joseph and 2 others, with whom he toured extensively, including the US. Building on his dance and vocal talent, Joseph studied at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute and honed his comedic skills with Upright Citizens Brigade. He debuted on Broadway in All Shook Up and subsequently toured the US with productions of Grease (Dance Captain) and West Side Story. Other theatrical credits include: Surf: The Musical, CATS, Altar Boyz, Guys and Dolls, and much more. Joseph has been featured as a choreographer in the hit HBO special A Quinceañera Story. Joseph was also featured on NBC’s The Today Show promoting this HBO Doc. As well, he teamed up with fitness guru, Cassey Ho of Blogilates and Pop Pilates creator, for a YouTube collaboration, seen by her 4.4 million followers.
Our Guest has worked with Rebel Wilson where he choreographed a CATS routine dubbed “Catzercize” which has been shared by Rebel and her 6 million + followers. That viral video was soon followed up with a choreographed routine to “Greased Lightnin” from Grease, complete with Rebel piloting a pantomime race car. Joseph has been seen on television in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place, MTV Dance Marathon, and the CW’s Hart of Dixie. Joseph’s choreography has been seen on the CW’s hit TV show Hart of Dixie, MTV Video Music Awards, the Neon Trees music video Feel Good, 98 Degree’s music video Microphone, Julie Brown’s hit musical Homecoming Queen’s Got a Musical, I Totally Know What You Did Last Donna Summer starring Drew Droege and much more!
