Tony began swing dancing in a small town in Montana in 2014. Because the dance scene was so small, he got to work very closely with a group of dedicated dancers that helped him dive head first into the deep end of swing. He hadn’t done anything like it before and quickly fell in love with it. Swing has been a consistently important part of his life since then.

Tony has now lived and taught in Montana, Texas, New York, Colorado and Indiana. Each scene has been fun and unique and has given him a different perspective on dance. Everytime he moves he takes with him the ideas and values of everywhere he’s been.

In dance, connection and clarity are his bread and butter. Tony enjoys the musicality, footwork and complicated moves of swing, but he likes nothing more than having a comfortable dance.
