The most important fundamentals of this dance style I learned from one and only Toni with her Smooth Training System! I can call myself extremely lucky since the path with her and her drills opened the door for me to achieve my American Smooth dream career. I am forever grateful and everywhere I go I spread the knowledge I gained from my journey with this incredible women.

When you are looking for a structural consistency and results in your dancing, look no further than the creator of “The Drills” Toni Redpath! I couldn’t believe how much my dancing has changed since having “The Folder”. My favorite phrase “Not an option” showed me that following the rules with Toni will get me and my dancing to the highest levels of achievement!
