Brian Antonio

Portrait -- Brian AntonioBrian's entrepreneurial spirit was evident at age 9 when he took on a paper route, eventually growing that business to include 4 different newspapers on 16 different streets. In high school Brian and his friends directed their entrepreneurial energies into what would become a wildly successful Disc Jockey business known as FlipSide. From house parties to nightclubs, cotillions to weddings, FlipSide found an audience with a diverse demographic.

As FlipSide's audience grew Brian and his partners found themselves exposed to a a wide array of musical styles and dance. Inspired by what he saw in dance halls across the city Brian started taking dance lessons. Seemingly content with the ablity to take to the dance floor and trip the light fantastic, Brian was downright flabbergasted as his dancing escalated (thanks to some "gentle" coercion) from casual to competitive. He soon found himself performing in various local talent competitions, most notably the CNE Rising Star Youth Talent Competition.

One day he came across an ad from a local dance school looking to train a new dance instructor. Thanks once again to some "gentle" coercion and motivated somewhat by the idea of teaching dance to pay for school Brian answered the ad and a dance instructor was born.

Brian instantly fell in love with his new career, subsequently shifting his focus from computers altogether. He ended up teaching in Toronto for several years before being hired in 1998 by one of Vancouver's most prestegious dance schools. Over the next few years Brian's career soared as he twice managed to dance his way into the Finals of the Canadian Professional Championships.

He soon earned the position of Dance Directer -- a role which Brian performed for the remainder of his tenure. Aside from helping to organize various dance events and recitals Brian took great joy in passing on his knowledge to up and coming dancers and dance teachers.

In 2004 Brian took to the internet with long-time collaborators Andrew McIntosh & Madga Rudzik to design and launch Dancing for Dessert On-Line -- an innovative new Video-on-Demand system that allows people to learn how to dance in the comfort and privacy of their own home. While maintaining a presence in the dance industry through Dancing for Dessert, Brian looks to continue helping people on-line by cultivating his businesses into a global presense where people can come to share ideas & information and find exciting and innovative products and services.
