Antonia Christina Basilotta (born September 22, 1943), better known by her stage name Toni Basil, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, filmmaker, film director, choreographer, and dancer, best known for her multi-million selling worldwide No. 1 hit "Mickey" from 1982.
Basil was born Antonia Christina Basilotta in Philadelphia. Her mother, Jacqueline Jessica Anderson, was a vaudevillian acrobatic comedian in her family's act "Billy Wells and The Four Fays." Her father, Louis Basil, was an orchestra leader who conducted orchestras at the Chicago Theatre and at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, among others.
It was while her family was living in Las Vegas that Antonia attended high school there; she was one of the sports cheerleaders for the Las Vegas High School Wildcats, and graduated as part of the class of 1961. Already known by the nickname "Toni" by this time, she later incorporated her cheerleading experience into her dance career (see below) and her performance of "Mickey" (also see below) in both performing the selection and choreographing its video. It is worth noting that her original cheerleading uniform from that period was not the same as the one she wore in the video for "Mickey;" that uniform had been re-designed by then, and it was the re-designed version that she wore in the video.

This is an iconic AIP Beach film. One of the many I did in the 60's. Some I choreographed but this one I assisted David Winters whom I worked with throughout the 60's as his assistant. He was one of the great actor/dancers in the film West Side Story and also in the original Broadway musical. I'm still in touch with almost all the dancers in this movie especially Teri Garr my best friend the gorgeous leggy Oscar nominated blond dancing behind me. I can't tell you how hot it was shooting in the sun and difficult it was dancing on that sand. I think this was my first street dance battle. ------------------------------------------ Social Networks: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Toni_Basil Instagram: http://instagram.com/OfficialToniBasil Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialTon...

(Correction: The Famous Flames in this clip are Bobby Bennett, Lloyd Stallworth, Bobby Byrd.) I reflect about experiencing James Brown, the famous flames and full orchestra LIVE on the TAMI Show 1964 as the assistant choreographer. I talk about the different dance styles that were used in the show from the chorus dancers, that were originally trained in Jazz but could cross over to the social dance steps of the time, like The Pony, The Jerk, The Twist, etc…, The chorus dancers in the TAMI show were the most popular television and movie dancers during this time period. They danced on shin ding, and most of the AIP beach films (As I was featured in these films you can view them on my channel). The real-deal legitimate Go Go Dancers hired for the show were the most famous club dancers in LA. ...
