This playful hour of dance weaves together movement games, ballet and contemporary dance, and storytelling. Decent Dance believes that children have a natural understanding of physical expression: after all, that is their primary mode of communication in those early years! Tony's Creative Movement class taps into the imaginative spirit and innate desire to wiggle for children ages 3-7. By integrating both open-ended prompts and what we like to call "soft technique", this class offers just enough structure and a whole lot of autonomous empowerment for young dancers.
Known by the New York Times as the “deliciously goofy Guglietti,” Tony received his BFA from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Upon graduation he became a founding member of Sean Curran Company, and performed with Brian Brooks Moving Company, Peter Pucci, and Joanna Mendl Shaw, among others. For six years, Tony directed the dance program at the Pomfret School in CT. He has taught in universities, youth studios, church basements, and even in Kazakhstan. Tony regularly performs with Peter DiMuro/Public Displays of Motion and with partner Kristin Wagner as “Decent Dance." Decent Dance recently added a third collaborator, Nico Anthony, after a grueling 8 month audition process. If you don't get the joke: Nico is a baby (specifically, Tony's and Kristin's baby). Outside of dance, Tony refs hockey, eats too much fast food, and performs stand up comedy. Tony is an excellent painter (houses, not canvas) so if you need a fresh coat on your living room walls, check out Steady Guglietti Precision Painting on Facebook.
