Joanne Brady
Hockessin, Delaware
International Instructor/Choreographer
No matter where she teaches, Joanne Brady is remembered for her instruction, her humor and her infectious energy! While passing her class, you’ll probably hear, “Yes, Joanne!” coming from the mouths of eager, enthusiastic students; so, it’s no wonder Joanne has earned herself a star in the dance instructors’ hall of fame! She has been nominated for numerous awards and has had many of her dances published in magazines around the world. Over the years Joanne has won several awards. She won two (2) prestigious awards at the first Dancer’s Choice Awards in Las Vegas, 2005. Joanne was nominated and won both the Female Instructor of the Year and Female Personality of the Year awards. And again in 2006 she won Female Personality. In November of 2007 she once again won Female Instructor of the Year and Female Personality of the Year. Since this was the third year for winning Female personality, she also was entered into the Hall of Fame Dancer’s Choice Awards. These were humbling experiences for Joanne mostly because all the votes were from the “Dancers”, in Joanne’s opinion the dancers are the glue that holds the dance community together.
Joanne began teaching 30 years ago, after taking private lessons. She recruited dancers for a weekly TV show “The Country Video Dance Show” in Wilmington, DE and the rest is history! She has choreographed countless dances and has traveled, extensively, throughout the world. She says her most interesting places to teach have been France, Wales, Scotland, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and at the Millennium Dome in England for 24,000 people where 5,000 of them were dancers! Even with all her traveling, Joanne still has time to teach 8 dance classes and 1 Moving to Music Exercise Class a week in Delaware. Five of the line dance classes are geared toward beginners & “Active Adults” in local senior centers. She also works at 2 local assisted livings once a week. Joanne, her husband Bob and a committee of 8 hold a fund raising 2 day workshop in Delaware every March called the Diamond State Line Dance Event.
Joanne is now retired (from the daily work force) but worked for 16 years teaching moderately to severely handicapped students and worked another 18 years as an administrative secretary in school transportation. Joanne says she is an avid reader (mostly in airports) where she spends much of her time, now, traveling to teach and judge. She’s grateful for a wonderful husband (Bob) of 45 years who supports her teaching and traveling! Sometimes he even travels with her.
Don’t miss taking a class from this comedic dynamo! You’ll be glad you did!
