On Joel & Clara …

I was literally almost in tears after visiting Joel and Clara’s website!  What a passionate life, and what good fortune to have that passion shared.  I wish you both all the best in dance competitions, your dedicated pursuit of the “perfect dance”, and a graceful intertwining of lives. 

With sincere wishes of success and happiness,

We have had the pleasure to watch Joel & Clara from the beginning of their dance partnership.  They have continued to improve through hard work, dedication and a love of dancing.  Joel and Clara have become not only BC Open and Closed champions, they have represented BC, placing in the finals at the Canadian Open and Closed Championships and at many international dance competitions.  This talented and personable couple are truly wonderful ambassadors for ballroom dancing, for Canada.

Joel and Clara make a wonderful couple and they will succeed in all they do.  They have positive attitudes, practice hard, train hard and focus on what’s important.  I see Joel and Clara s a very happy couple and many people could learn from this.

Success is found between two when there is a natural bond and love for one another.  Joel and Clara’s goals are shared and therefore their success is easier to attain and achieve.  To still be so madly in love after this long and look so comfortable and happy together is a blessing.

I hope Joel and Clara embrace this and grow together as a couple on and off the stage.  It takes the both of them and their hearts to make it as far as they have.  Joel and Clara’s conviction, passion and natural ability to dance make all this worthwhile.

Thank you for sharing your ‘sport’ with others.  May it be an inspiration to us all, as ones love and respect for each other shine through in all areas of life.  Keep up the good work and great things will happen to the both of you.

Joel and Clara are very fast rising stars in the Canadian DanceSport scene.  They are constantly refining their dance skills to be more competitive and at the same time very entertaining.

We consider Joel and Clara to be part of our “Dance family” here at Viva Dance Studio and always look forward to their time spent in Toronto. 

As role models to the young dancers of Canada, there are no two people better suited.
