Known in Las Vegas throughout the late 1970's for her production of Helen Joy & the Joy Bells, Joy instructed, directed, and mentored the talented youth of Las Vegas through private lessons and community musical productions affectionately calling her students Helen Joy's Young Entertainers. A former accomplice of Director Helen Joy, Sandi Jones now continues Helen Joy's tradition of encouraging youth performing arts in the community directing The Las Vegas Young Entertainers. Now the collective moniker for young students developing their stage and vocal dynamics through private lessons, The Las Vegas Young Entertainers focuses on building personal development and improving self-esteem through performing arts. www.thelvye.com.
