Stairway To Stardom (1983) - Anthony Ciulla - dancer

[MrNodaybut2day]

reminds me of Cats!

[richardjeraj]

@MrNodaybut2day FABULOUS! And who doesn't like CATS?

[cbiswhite]

In all seriousness, he is actually good. I'm glad this show managed to have at least one genuinely proficient performer. On a lighter note, I love the hitchkick into the layout @ 0:56-57 - it's so 80's!

[sorwoggpm]

Man, I used to have to do the stretches in gym class while the weirdo coach guy played this song. He made sure we heard it too.

[ichigatsujohn]

He managed not to run into the walls, and that took some careful dancing!

[smillie4196]

He ended up actually making it.. He won a Tony for Footloose...

[NoodlesSF]

@smillie4196 He was nominated, but didn't win. Matthew Bourne won that year for Swan Lake. Ciulla was also in the original broadway cast of Starlight Express.

[BroadwayBaby7]

He actually is really good! such 80's choreo....obviously since it was in the 80's.

[SYMHD200]

I love him!!

[kimmieb1021]

i wonder if he ever made it to broadway!

[evelsteev]

This is too gay.

[SuppScott]

Those special effects really brought out his masculinity.

[MyTeelee]

He's the best dancer I've seen on these vids so far. I'll hold my snark for this one.

[kumasucki]

He rocks! He's good!

[geniuswaitress]

This guy went on to be nominated for a Tony award for choreographing Broadway's Footloose. (I looked him up!)

[slowcurl]

Don't be fooled. That's not a video effect. Anthony is merely kicking the radioactive stink out of the Stairway To Stardom 30-year-old rug.

[slowcurl]

The oily house plants and the wobbly wicker screen truly evoke the sense of struggle a dancer experiences as he reaches for the stars. Oh, what a feeling.

[MrUnderpants1234]

its so perfectly bad! yet perfect!

[carolinemfonseca]

what is he doing on this show? he can actually dance.

[virgiijauregui]

@carolinemfonseca I thought the same thing :)

[spaceboy537]

what happened to the rest of the clip??????????

[mangisda]

And this was on TV?!?

[bumpyjjeans]

To my knowledge, this is one of only two talented, trained performers on this show. No fun to comment on.

[tigerborn62]

What ever happened to this lovely young man?

[jrseguin]

could literally watch this for days.

[brittanysoriano]

I would also like to draw attention to the fact that I do believe Anthony Ciulla and A.C Ciulla (Emmy award winning and Tony award nomminated choreographer)are the same person.

[brittanysoriano]

OH! 80's Jazz, completely with a split roll at the beginning. No wonder dancers everywhere pretend the 80's never happened.

[tristanrobin]

@sacremende: right! LOL He'll never make the Rockettes

[MrBinarySolo]

Ummm, more please. I feel like we are robbed there at the end when it cuts off.

[sacremende]

I like how he's always one second slower than the beat.

[chazfier]

This man radiates masculinity. 

[kellmucious]

Those effects aren't very special.
