The multi-talented JOEY ARRIGO, is a dynamic force in the world of entertainment. Hailing from downtown Toronto, Joey is not just a dancer, acrobat, actor, teacher, and choreographer, but a true artist who has left his mark on stages around the globe.
With a career as diverse as it is impressive, Joey has graced the stage with iconic productions such as Cirque du Soleil's "Volta" as the principal character "Waz" and Cirque du Soleil's "Kooza" as "The Trickster." His talents have also shone brightly with Shaping Sound Dance Company, Pro Arte Danza, Red Sky Performance, and Transcendance Project's immersive theatre productions, where he embodied characters like the Evil Queen in "A Grimm Night" and Renfield in "Eve of St. George."

From appearing in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" on Paramount Plus to Guillermo del Toro's "Cabinet of Curiosities," Joey's versatility as a performer knows no bounds. He has showcased his skills as a stunt double, featured dancer, and even as "Jerry, the Aerobic Vampire" in the hit series "What We Do in the Shadows." Recognized as one of Canada's top dancers on CTV's "So You Think You Can Dance Canada," Joey's talent has taken him worldwide, including guest appearances on Ukraine's "Everybody Dance" and Disney's "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure." Not to mention his involvement in Russell Peter's Christmas Special, where his charisma and skill lit up the screen.
In addition to his impressive performance resume, Joey was the director and choreographer for Omar Antonio's Si'lat Fashion show with Wella Beauty at the Contessa Awards in Toronto and The Perfecto Show in Montreal, where he also performed as "The Gypsy."

JOEY ARRIGO
A ravenous beast dwells inside a body. She roams the darkness tempting other insatiable bodies, driven by the need to satisfy her senses. Before devouring her next catch, they engage—summoning the primordial hunger for satisfaction. They build strength from the hubris they feed off of one another. But this pleasure brings about a consequence, an entrapment to last a lifetime. A cosmic loop of captor and captive. She becomes re-born at each turn, manifesting the love for life. She is VITA LOVE.

PHILOSOPHYI believe in the power of storytelling to bring dance to a deeper place. I was always known for having an immense technical understanding of the dancer’s instrument and came to realize that movement without storytelling solely remains in the physical realm. Incorporating our truth of the human experience brings dance to a deeper, spiritual level. Diving into truth and utilizing dance to express emotions brings the art form to a therapeutic level. Our bodies create joy, laughter, and tears; and furthermore, connect our viewers to these relatable experiences. This is when the art form, independently of technical understanding, becomes brilliance.
