Syosset resident Sara Joel has had an illustrious dance career thus far in her fifty-four years living on this planet. She started in ballet when she was a teenager, ended up as a performer at the world-famous Cirque De Soleil in Las Vegas, and currently as a pole-dancer, performing in live shows and competitions. “I really got into pole dancing, which combines so many dance elements, in 2014, after a three-year career as an acrobatic dancer at the Cirque De Soleil ‘Zumanity’ cabaret show in Las Vegas,” said Joel. “I was very close minded initially about the idea of pole-dancing, but it’s actually a great workout which combines dance and acrobatics centered around a vertical pole.” Joel said she got her start in the Cirque De Soleil at age thirty-three, after auditioning multiple times for the world famous performing troupe to no avail. “I auditioned multiple times but was never hired until I sent a video of myself dancing. I guess it was sheer luck or something. I was hired in 2003 as a counterbalancing dancer with a male partner. We have performed in literally thousands of cabaret shows over the course of three years in the Zumanity at Las Vegas.” Joel said she is lucky she made it out lucky without any type of injuries or surgeries needed. “It was a lot of wear and tear on the body, with all of the balancing and lifting and countless hours performing the same repetitive motions,” said Joel.
Unfortunately after she left the show, she started to experience pain and limited motion in the area of her right hip. “I had a condition called hip dysplasia, and after multiple years of being hyper-mobile and doing things like putting my feet behind my head, it made the condition that much worse.” In March of 2022, she made the ultimate decision to get a total hip replacement. “I had severe arthritis and developed bone spurs, so I knew something needed to be done. I went in for the surgery in March of last year, and it took three months to recover and a full year to start dancing and feeling like myself again.” The spry fifty-four year old ended up taking classes in pole dancing on Long Island and in New York City, before taking to the stage in a live act. She has performed in competitions, including placing first in the amateur division at the US Poledance Federation and danced in live onstage shows. Currency she performs in the ‘Schtick A Pole In It’ pole-dancing and comedy hour show. “I feel great after surgery with much better range of motion and most importantly no pain,” said Joel. “If I can be onstage at fifty four, barefoot and in seven inch heels, working the pole, that’s all that needs to be said.” Joel had her hip replacement surgery performed at the Northwell Health Orthopedic Surgery Center in Great Neck by Dr Sreevathsa Buraiah.
