019 Tony Coppola - Rhythm, Resilience and Reinvention

Join host Abbie Campbell as she sits down with Tony Coppola — gymnast-turned-percussionist-turned-dancer and choreographer — to explore his unconventional path into dance, influential mentors, commercial and theatrical work, outreach programs, and the creative drive that keeps him performing and teaching. Tony shares stories from touring with Donnie & Marie and the Osmonds, developing a signature tap shoe with Capezio, teaching at Tremaine Dance Conventions as one of their founding teachers, UNLV, choreographing for gymnastics and commercials, and the lessons he learned about musicality, versatility, and mentorship. Tony is a walking legend.
