Ms. Toni has been dancing since age 2 and began instructing at age 15 in New Jersey. She presently resides in Port Saint Lucie with her two sons, AJ & Mikey.  Ms. Toni received her Dance/Theater Certifications through DEA as well as continues her performing arts training through Dance Teacher's Summit held every summer in NYC and recently received her Continued Dance Education Certification through Dance Teacher's University in association with UNLV.  She also travels to multiple conventions to keep her dance and performing skills up-to-the-minute.   Her motto has always been ....If you Believe...you will Achieve... and Never Say Can't!  -- Honesty, Integrity & Loyalty are the only way to Succeed!

 

 

Prior to moving to Florida she owned and operated Toni T's Dance Magic in New Jersey which was well known for their recreational families and their competitive team.  The Magic Dancers competitive team held and received numerous Regional, State and National Titles as well as special recognition titles from various competitions.

 

Ms. Toni is also a certified Elementary Educator for grades Kindergarten through 6th as well as in Physical Education grades K through 12th, ESOL Endorsed and  works professionally with special needs students.   She worked as an Elementary Educator for St. Lucie County from 2004 through 2011, while owning and operating True Crew.  In July 2011 she decided to retire from the school board and open True Crew full time providing classes in the morning, afternoon and evening.

 

In 2006  True Crew opened it doors to the public after she had been working for a studio in the area for over 8 years.  Her goal was to bring back the "True" family values she felt a dance/performance studio should have.   A place where students of all ages, genders and abilities would be able to feel how truly important and capable they are as long as they ....BELIEVE.

 

In 2007 Ms. Toni was inducted into the Cambridge Who's Who of Executives and Professionals for her outstanding service to others.

 

In 2008 she was recognized for her Civic/Professional contributions by  Soroptimist International of St. Lucie and received the Women of Distinction Award.

 

In 2010 she was further recognized by WPTV News Channel 5 and was awarded the Nationally Recognized Jefferson Award for her contributions to the community and improving the lives of others.

 

In 2013 she was again recognized and placed into the National Association of Professional Women.

 

To know the truth behind TRUE CREW you need to meet, work and deal with our Director personally. 

 

Unfortunately, in the competitive DANCE environment, many things can be said, but there is only 1 truth.... and that is TRUE CREW.

 

We strive to achieve a drama free, positive, safe environment for our students to learn and believe in themselves, therefore, unsportsmanlike, unethical or unprofessional behavior of any sort is not tolerated.  

 

We are a family studio, not a "reality show studio" and we take PRIDE in our REPUTATION, INTEGRITY, HONESTY AND LOYALTY.
