The job market for dancers has expanded worldwide and so has international choreographer, Joey Doucette. A Dancer/Choreographer/Director for many years, Joey's versatility has kept him in demand in several different markets. With training in jazz, tap and ballet, Joey separated himself from many choreographers by becoming well versed in Flamenco, Malambo and the ballroom styles of Mambo, Salsa, Tango, and Rumba. This training has brought him recognition for his choreography in Latin America, Europe and the Far East. For the last eighteen years Joey has been writing, directing and choreographing shows in America, Mexico, Romania, Germany, Italy and Korea.

Here is a little background on Joey Doucette so you can get an idea of his style and strengths. As a dancer, Joey performed in television, theatre, and nightclubs. Some of his theatre credits include Ballet de Mexico, (Mexico City) "Annie", "Barnum", "They're Playing Our Song", and "Carousel" in New York. He has also performed in "Anything Goes", "Sweet Charity", "Kiss Me Kate" and "South Pacific". In the nightclub venue, he appeared in Las Vegas, Reno, San Diego, Miami and Acapulco, Mexico. He was in charge of the jazz division of the Nuebert Ballet Institute at Carnegie Hall, N.Y., and was responsible for teaching 14 jazz classes per week for legendary jazz teacher, Luigi. Joey took over these classes when Luigi went to Europe to stage dance performances in Italy.

Joey's last dancing performance was for the Moulan Rouge in Paris where he spent six months performing the Can Can to sold out houses. He made such an impression in France that the Producers have asked him to recommend American dancers for positions in the Moulan Rouge, Paris. There are very specific requirements for dancers hoping to work in the Moulan Rouge. You must be 5'7" to 6 feet tall, have long legs and a "natural body". By a "natural body" I mean they are not fond of plastic surgery implants for the Moulan Rouge at the moment. You must be able to do a split on both sides, a cartwheel and of course, the strenuous requirements of the Can Can. Other acrobatic tricks are a plus. The show pay is $600 per week US and it has a 1 year contract.

In February of 2003, Joey's choreographic masterpiece "PowerTrack" opened in Busan, South Korea to rave reviews. "PowerTrack" is showing nightly in the Busan Lotte Hotel, known for their lavish productions and state of the art laser equipment. The show consists of a traditional Korean show along with a Cirque style Vegas Revue. There are more than 300 costumes and 800 props in an elaborate and fast-paced feast for the eyes. Some of the fantasy numbers include wizards, black widows, dragons and a laser battle never before seen in Korea. There is a cast of 29 with acrobats and dancers making up the majority of the cast. Dancers will perform two one-hour shows, 6 nights a week. The pay is 500 to 600 dollars US depending on your part in the show. Although the show is brand new, an exciting updated version is already in the planning stages for February 2004. As you may have gathered from his background, when auditioning for Joey Doucette you can expect a strong Broadway style of jazz with lots of Latin American flavor thrown into the mix. Watch for a very specific breakdown when you see ads in the Callback for a Joey Doucette Production. Be prepared, dress accordingly and be sure to bring your personality. Joey says, "Watch the choreography carefully, stay in very deep plie and above all, don't add anything extra. If I ask for a double pirouette, I want a double pirouette."
