Toni's dad was a band-leader and her mom was a dancer and acrobat. Toni started dancing as a child and while in High School in Las Vegas, Toni was a head Cheerleader which would prove to be a very valuable asset to her thru out her life as a dancer and choreographer. Toni started her trek in dance as a Go-Go dancer in hit TV Shows such as Hullabaloo, SHINDIG! and the T.A.M.I. Show in the early 1960's. Got her first acting role in the 'Pajama Game' in 1964. In 1966 Toni danced ( And stripped) in Bruce Conner's classic film 'Breakaway' and in 1969 played a starring role in the biker hit cult film "Easy Rider" with Henry Fonda and Jack Nicholson.

     Late in the 1970's she formed and managed the Break dance group called the Lockers which featured Fred "Re-Run" Berry of the TV Show  'What's Happenin'.

Toni was also nominated for an Emmy Award in 1988 ( Outstanding Achievement in Choreography) for her "Four Swans" number on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour."

     As a singer ... her first song was in the film Breakaway and by 1982 released her first album of dance able songs called 'Word of Mouth' which became a gold record and had the USA number one hit song " Mickey" ( You remember: Oh! Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind... Hey Mickey!.) The video single "Mickey"was the first to incorporate synchronized dancing. Toni has been the choreographer to many famous bands and singers for their MTV videos such as David Bowie, Talking Heads and Bette Midler.

     Today (2013) Toni is still very much active in the entertainment industry and still Acting, doing choreography for Hollywood and MTV Videos. In her spare time, Toni is an avid dancer who loves to Salsa and West Coast Swing. You can find her at many of the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley social dance spots around town. Toni is on the modest side about her career and unless you knew her or was told about her, you would think she is a normal, down to earth, easy going, casual, friendly foxy lady ... who would talk about and/or dance all night long, but normal she is not, she's a star.
