- Toni Basil, (Filmed July 2016), 72 years old & young at heart and in body, 'A Legend and Pioneer'.
(Born Antonia Christina Basilotta, September 22, 1943)
Toni was at the All4house workshop July 2016, showing she's still got those Urban Dance, Street Dance Skills. See more.........
Dancing all her life, a teenage cheerleader, becoming a professional choreographer, dancer, actor, film-maker, director and singer-songwriter, appearing on stage and on screen, in front and behind the camera, in films and on TV, from the early sixties to date.
In the early 1970's Toni Basil and Don "Campbellock" Campbell were founder members of 'The Lockers' dance group, cementing themselves in history as true pioneers of street dance.
Some know her best for her multi-million selling worldwide No: 1 hit single "Mickey" in 1982.
She won an Emmy Award in 2007 and was a recipient of the "Living Legend of Hip Hop" award from Hip Hop International.
The music in this video is, Patti Labelle - Music Is My Way Of Life (Joey Negro Funk In The Music Mix)...
Face it, she's a far better dancer than 98% of all human on this planet, and this, at 72 yo.
99,99998 %
me being one of the 98%
Amen!
Undeniable. Though I'm sure some will try
Love the way she combines contemporary urban dance with moves that pay homage to the '70s and the dance mix used.
That's so funky, I'm worried that it may have caused a national funk shortage.
The world's first female funkstyler! A living legend who continues to inspire us all. After all, I watched her when I was a kid in the 1970's and she and the Lockers inspired my interest to become a street dancer. Keep on dancing, Toni..this video made me smile! 💃💃💃
Wow. This lady never stops impressing me.
What had she done previously?
She looks strong, beautiful and very soulful, would love to meet this women
she was hitting every break... poppin.. locking. so dope
isnt she FANTASTIC?!!!!YES!!!SUPERB!!! How I wish I could dance like that!!!And I am half her age.
She's so damn SMOOTH with it though!!! That damn Philly in her....
Absolutely the reason we should ALL be happy to be alive and OLDER....She's still got the 'oomph' and the charisma to take it all on!
that's the way u live your life, dance like No one is watching :)
YOU DID THAT TONI BASIL!!! YOU HAVE GIVEN ME NEW HOPE AT 52 OF REVISITING MY ASPIRATIONS OF DANCING AGAIN..I LOVE TO DANCE!! YOU ARE AS YOUNG AS FEEL!!..LOVE IT!!
I hope you followed through with this... if not... start now 👍🏼🙂
@@ws4jb I am now 56 since I made this comment, and I am dancing, thank you for your encouragement!
TONI IS 72 YEARS OLD. DANCING LIKE A 20 YEAR OLD. THAT WAS DA BOMB!!!!!!
Wow! So inspiring! Her moves are as fast and sharp as any teenager! This video is like watching one of those prank videos where they dress up a young person as a person in their 70's and then film the amazement of the onlookers at how that "elderly" person can perform physical feats, except that in this case it is actually a person in their 70's performing like a teenager and no prank!
72 is not what it was a decade ago. Screw age. Mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter. Keep dancing Toni!
I wish I had those moves. I gotta get back to dancing again so I can move like that at 72... I hope.
Wow! She's amazing! I saw a recent picture of her too and she looks fantastic! She always did look young for her age. Back in the 80's she cut Mickey when she was 40. And she looked like she was in her 20's back then. Amazing lady!
She's in excellent shape for someone in their 70s , mainly because she's never stopped dancing since she was very young
She still got it you go girl ,,,
Ms. Toni Basil, you are a true legend and inspiration!! WOW!! Thank you for posting this video. I am blown away. AMAZING!!
Tony's aged like the finest of wines.
Tony is teaching us the art of aging gracefully.
Your not getting old but better.
Unreal! And I swear she looks just as she did in 1982, if not better. This inspires me to keep moving! Epic!
She Stay In Her Zone...🔥🔥😏🙌👍😏
Also a member of the 70's dance group called The Lockers....
Amazing! So cool. God bless.
I have always love Toni Basil. She is 72 folks and living her life. Enjoy your life and don't let others put you in a certain category or tell you how you should be living!
Str8 fire. Some younger people can’t execute those moves like she do.
This has rocked my world. I had no idea the singer from "Mickey" was a dancer. And at 72, she is still going so strong. Can not get enough of this! What an inspiration. Shows what you can do if you stay in shape and do what you love.
THE BADDEST FEMALE DANCER EVERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE TONI BASIL.......THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!
She Still Got Skills Baby..In Her 70's Keep on Dancin ...TONI..👌😏😏🙌👌
It's just not for sale. What an incredible woman.
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Amazing woman!!! It's crazy how one person can move like this. And another 72 year old can't walk up a few stairs with out fear of falling. May we all move this way if we're blessed to live to be 72 and beyond.
Happy 75th birthday Toni! Dang, 75 years old, holy moly. WW2 was still going on when she was born and television sets weren’t even a thing yet.
Omg!! This made me smile!! Ya still got it gal, even better.
SHE STILL GOT IT!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Yer beautiful
fell in love with the immortal GILF after I saw her interviewed on one of the sunday morning shows, where she did a spot on JAMES BROWN step by step dance moves.
I'm amazed at how easily she can move and her speed. It looks effortless for her.
Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! I want to be like her when I grow up. I've loved Toni since the 80s when I first heard Mickey at 9 years old. Had no idea she's worked with other amazing artists and to see her still shining is absolutely a great way to start the day. A true artist!!
