    Jul 6 2025

    Welcome back to Season 8 of the Recovering Perfectionist Podcast in partnership with the Dance Wellness Community!

    In this episode, Christine chats with DWC ambassador, Antonio Núñez who grew up in New York where he was heavily involved in Salsa, Merengue, and many of the Caribbean's African rooted folkloric dances. As he got older his mother pushed him into ballet, modern, and later hip hop. He learned ballroom dancing as a teenager and quickly became certified to teach at only 17 years old. Ballroom quickly replaced most other dance styles as Tony's passion, when he realized just how impactful this style can be to the soul and psyche of all of his students. Tony has had the privilege of dancing with some of the most beautiful artists and through their partnerships have received many incredible accolades and experiences including; US Professional 9 Dance finalist, World Smooth finalist (Moscow, Russia), United States Mambo Bronze Medalist, World Salsa Champion (San Juan, PR), Choreographer, Coach and Performer for Infinite Flow (an inclusive dance company that pairs professional dancers with disabled dancers Los Angeles, CA), Professionally certified Instructor of Barricchi Movement and Art (a ballroom take of proprioception awareness Hong Kong, China). Having a diverse background of professional, competitive, and social dancing with a street flare, Tony strives to put authenticity in all he teaches and performs. With his degree in Education, he has been teaching now for 23 years. His background in Education, affords him the opportunity to inspire people on a deeper level. For him, dancing (particularly partner dancing), is the vehicle that brings true self awareness and therefore ultimate fulfillment regardless of the background, orientation, gender or ability.
