About Tony
- I've been a dancer since the age of 10 as a self-taught dancer, learning from videos, family/peers, and TV.
- I've been teaching since 2017 and have attended several hiphop events/battles since 2014.
- The most students I've taught in a class was about 25 students (at a highschool), but in an actual studio the most was around 15.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
- I was taught from my old dance mentor/instructor to be a "YES DANCER", and now I do the same with my dancers as well.
- Being a Yes Dancer means a dancer who is willing to try new styles and opens their mind in suggestions that can help them improve/progress as a dancer.
- I would teach strictly what ever it is the student/parents would want me to teach. Meaning, if they want to learn how to get more into freestyling, that's what our sessions would be about. If they wanted to learn choreography, then we would work on choreography. If they wanted to learn how to create their own choreography, then that is another thing we could also work on as well. I'm here to help the dancer grow wherever it is they feel they need and want to grow.
- I teach several styles of hiphop, but mainly work on teaching foundational styles such as popping and grooves, along with the choreography being more modernized hiphop.
- My main idea of teaching my dancers isn't just teaching them moves/choreography, but to also help them become much more creative as an artist and being able to feel the music rather than just hearing it.
- For my private classes, I prefer to teach in person due to technological issues. I've tried with my previous students doing live classes, and it wasn't that great for neither sides, also the major issue with teaching online is you don't get the real dance connection of a student and instructor/mentor, as well as the energy/vibe not being there either.

My daughter has taken hip-hop class from Tony for a few years at our local YMCA. She was part of the Dance Team and Tony was one of the main instructors/organizers. He is passionate about dance and loves to share his passion through teaching. He is also very patient with the girls and keeps the class environment fun. One of Tony's teaching strengths is his observation of a dancer and his ability to know when to challenge that dancer and when to maybe back off.
Tony taught hip hop and modern at the Y and privately in a small group to my daughter. The kids love him. He choreographs cool dances and also teaches skills, so that the kids learn a lot but also have a lot of fun. I would highly recommend him to teach dance.
Tony is fantastic! I grew up dancing so have a high bar for dance instructors for my daughter. She started dancing with Tony about 4 years ago and he quickly became her favorite instructor. My daughter has learned so much from Tony, she's grown in her dancing ability as well as her overall confidence and presence. Last year during COVID she really missed dancing with him. Tony went above and beyond to continue working with her through zoom, private lessons both individually and in small groups. He really loves what he does and it shows in his students.

I've had parents pay $25/hr and this was also without any travel fee, so I'm really just going based off that.
