• Bagels are my soul food.
• Believe it or not, I've been in two dance recitals.
• I'm writing a musical about tennis... keep your eyes peeled next time you're on BROADWAY.

My name is Daniel Cox, and I am a tennis coach and theatre teaching artist. I've been playing tennis my whole life and even played at the college level (NCAA Division II). I've worked with Ryan Reeves Tennis Training, been a summer coach at IMG Academy, and most recently I was a tennis professional for two years at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center teaching both adult and junior level classes. I'm very experienced teaching beginners and honing the skills of advanced players, but I also think its important to have fun on the tennis court. I also know my way around a pickleball court. I also have a big passion for theatre and musicals. I moved to New York for the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop (a Tony Award-winning program that has produced many of the most distinguished musical theatre practitioners of the past 50 years including the writers of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, Pocahontas, Aladdin, and Tangled, Frozen, Coco.) There I have gotten the chance to write, perform, and critique new works while continuing to write develop an original musical. I've taught classes on song analysis and songwriting with the National Student Leadership Conference at Columbia University. I think theatre provides students with a fun way to build confidence and make friends in the community around them.
