Conversations on Creativity: Tony Testa’s Journey from Dancer to Creator

Featuring my lifelong friend and visionary choreographer Tony Testa in his FIRST-EVER podcast interview! We dive deep into creative intuition, mentorship, and processing life’s challenges. This conversation reveals how following your instincts—even when they lead you away from what everyone else expects—can open doors to your authentic artistic voice.

 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

 

-How Tony discovered his calling as a choreographer while on the “Feedback” set with Ed Moore

 

-How the commercial dance space can leave artists wanting more

 

-Keys of mentor relationships: insights from working with legendary director Kenny Ortega and Greek grandmaster Dimitris Papaioannou

 

-The transformative power of persistence: scheduling time to process difficult emotions and the consistency needed for personal evolution
