She joins a dance studio that is on the rise and finished 2015 in it's highest global ranking since it opened in 2008.
Pairing up with her new co-manager, Joey Sena, Tonia won't be working in unfamiliar territory. She's worked with many of the Livermore students and teachers already as a Traveling Consultant. In addition to that, she knows her new bosses really well. Tonia was the competitive dance coach for franchisees Chris and Daisey Lynam, from 2005-2010. She knows the team, she knows the students, and she knows exactly what this location is like.
In addition to her work as a traveling consultant, Tonia, and her former dance partner Jason Roditis, owned a ballroom and Latin dance studio in Greece, and were regulars on the Greek version of So You Think You Can Dance. It was during their competitive dancing career that another ballroom show put their successful competitive dance career in the spotlight: Burn the Floor.
Tonia now moves into the role of Supervisor, overseeing the dance progress of students on their personalized programs. Joey, wearing one less managerial hat, shift over to focus on the New Student Department as Counselor.
"I'm a goal setter; small, medium, and large" says Tonia. With her wealth of knowledge, and the current trajectory of this Arthur Murray team, things in Livermore are really heating up.
