He’s worked for the likes of Britney Spears and Jason Derulo, yet LA based hip-hop and house choreographer Tony Czar remains a teacher at heart. Dance Informa caught up with the in-demand choreographer, fresh off the 2011 Source Dance Hollywood Tour, to talk teaching and career highlights.
Your experience as a choreographer is impressive, having worked with some of the best names in the business. Do you ever stand back and think ‘wow, am I really doing this?’
I have always believed in what I do. In addition, I have been working with the right people at the right time to be given these opportunities.
Are there any music artists that are on your choreography wish list?
Missy Elliot, Beyonce, and up and coming Rye Rye!
Your workshops are always a great success. What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
I love having fun and passing on my passion of dance. I love watching the students when they have the ‘aha’ moment and get what I am teaching both physically and mentally.
Reality television has made a huge impact on the dance industry. Given the chance to have your own show like The Dance Scene, would this be something that interests you?
I am a teacher at heart so my favourite jobs are always going to be teaching jobs.
What’s next for you? What projects are you currently working on?
My schedule is fully booked with teaching jobs all over the world. I teach in Poland, Taiwan, Russia, Japan, Korea, and Guam, to just name a few of the places I will be going.
