This LIVESTREAM can be viewed through subscription to Open Jar’s GIGNITION Channel, all proceeds from which go towards providing theatre training to BIPOC and other marginalized communities.

In this movement class Tony will focus on secrets learned over the years of his career on Broadway and tips he picked up from mentors like Bill T. Jones, Tina Landau, Susan Stroman and others, to give dancers the tools to become an effective storyteller through dance.

Tony Yazbeck is a rarity in show business. He’s a complete, romantic dancing actor, or acting dancer. Like such hallowed predecessors as Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, he’s as expressive with his twirls and jetés as he is with his face and voice, bringing balletic wonder to ordinary rituals of love and courtship.
