Tony Testa

Artist

American (b. 1987). After passing out hard copies of his homemade choreography reel in high school, he received a phone call that one of his DVD’s had made it out of northern Colorado, and into the hands of Janet Jackson. This big break brought him to LA in 2005, where he’d spend the next 2 decades making work for Franco Dragone, Kenny Ortega, Versace, The Grammy’s, and the LACMA museum, to name a few. His boundaries further expanded after apprenticing with Dimitris Papaioannou, which brought forth his original short films (DisInteGrated, ORIGIN, ReInteGrated), and photography (GASP gallery LA, Vanity Fair Magazine Italy). Currently he is touring his most ambitious original work to date: the choreographic/photographic/cinematic magnum opus, b1. Tony is trained in Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Partnering, Flamenco, Butoh, and Street Dance. He is a brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner, certified freediver (Fii), & son of a falconer and hairstylist. The eldest of 3 brothers, he was born and raised in Fort Collins, CO.
