Washington, DC native Antonio “Tony” Jefferson is an arts and fitness enthusiast and connoisseur with over 15 years of experience. Antonio’s training started with hip-hop and jazz and quickly expanded to many other styles. He is trained in disciplines ranging from modern and theater to gymnastics, kickboxing and everything in between. Tony has trained, performed, choreographed and taught throughout the US and abroad, including the honor of performances at the White House, the B.E.T. Awards, Library of Congress, and for Cirque du Soliel, NIKE, GQ, Good Morning America, Jay Z’s Rocawear and the National Tour of Flashdance the Musical, to name a few. Antonio’s passion for human movement extends beyond dance. As a nationally certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, Tony has had the opportunity to help individuals from all walks of life reach and exceed personal health and fitness goals in the US and abroad. His undergraduate studies in dance, kinesiology, sports medicine and nutrition have given him a clear understanding and unique approach to both fitness and dance.
