Background

Tony started dancing at 8 years old, studying tap, ballet, jazz, contemporary, partnering, break-dance, flamenco, butoh and hip-hop in his hometown of Fort Collins, CO. From an early age he assisted the classes that his mom would teach, and soon enough he had unveiled his true passion for choreography. In addition to his successful choreography career in the pop industry, Tony is now beginning to use choreography to bring social awareness and promote positive transformation.
