been thrilled to teach the Saturday morning PreDance and ComboDance
classes at the Rock since the studio opened in January 2008. Over

Tony
With long-standing national recognition as a tap dance
virtuoso, All-American gymnast, master dance teacher, and
professional percussionist, Tony Coppola is in high demand as a
performer, choreographer and master instructor.
His television choreographic credits include commercials for
McDonalds, Aramis Cologne, and Autolite autoparts, as well as the
Superstars of Gymnastics for USA TV network, John Tesh
Live at Redrocks for PBS, The Mystery and Magic of Nadia
Comaneci for ABC TV, and The World Gold Gymnastics
Tour starring Nadia Comaneci, Bart Conner, Keri Strug and a
cast of Olympic Gymnasts.
Featured for his solo tap dancing on various TV shows and in Las
Vegas, Tony can also be seen in many dance magazines for his
authoritative articles on jazz and tap and ads promoting Capezio's
Coppola Tap Shoes, which were introduced in 1990.
Tony's modern dance background while training with Graham
disciple, Jaime Rogers, and performing with the Rogers' Company,
has helped him maintain a strong technical standard. He spent
several years on faculty at Mesa State College, where he developed
a dance major and was the program's artistic director. His musical
theatre credits include; Chicago, Tommy, Return to Forbidden
Planet, Kiss Me Kate, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, West Side
Story, and performing the lead in George “M.”
Tony has choreographed several production numbers for the
Hilton's “Work that Skirt” and Lake Tahoe's “Full Body
Rock.” He has been guest choreographer for dance concerts at
University of Northern Colorado and recently at Pomona College in
California. He was also featured solo performer at Reno, Nevada's
Art Town Celebration in “Reflections of a Life on Stage.”
He choreographed a collaborative project with Chicago's Jay Franke,
of the famed Hubbard Street Dance Company.
Tony Coppola is presently on faculty at UNLV in Las Vegas, where
he teaches jazz, tap, dance appreciation, and provides both
percussion support and covers modern class. His writing background
for dance magazines has led him to his latest academic project; a
workbook for dance appreciation class. Kendall Hunt Publications is
collaborating with him on this project.
