Meet your instructors; Dani Joy & Perry Stauffer

Dani Joy & Perry Stauffer

Dani Joy

If Norah Jones became a Disney princess, her name would be Dani Joy. 

Dani Joy is a performing musical artist of Romero Creations who is best known for her ability to weave her crooning alto vocals together with complex campanella fingerpicking accompaniment through original music. For nearly a decade she has been entrancing audiences across the globe, inviting them in with her velvet vocals and compassionate style of teaching. 

Dani Joy has been featured in Ukulele Magazine and several ukulele festivals across the US; Las Cruces Ukesfest, Ukewest, Auburn Ukefest, Midwest Ukefest, Uketoberfest, Napa Wine Country Ukefest, Suncity Ukefest, Porttownsend Ukefest, Kamloops Ukefest and Reno Ukefest. 

Dani and her husband Perry Stauffer are now producers of the annual Reno Ukulele Festival (NV), Glampout (online) and upcoming Sasquatch Serenade Ukulele Retreat (Or).
