Carola Goya (1906–1994) was an American dancer, choreographer, and teacher who specialized in the study and performance of Spanish dance. Her father, Samuel Weller, was an agent for New York-based actors. Upon entering the professional dance world, Goya assumed a Spanish last name – her stage name later became her legal name. She conducted her dance studies in New York and Madrid and performed professionally with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet as well as with the José Greco Dance Company. In 1927, Goya made her first concert appearance as a Spanish dance soloist.
