About
The Dancing Designer creates elevated dance experiences that blend movement, confidence, performance, and connection. Founded by Tonisha Ramona, a professional dancer and creative director with over 12 years of experience performing alongside major recording artists and across music videos, television, film, live events, and stage productions, The Dancing Designer was built to help people feel more confident, expressive, and connected through movement. We specialize in personalized dance experiences for weddings, private clients, brands, corporate events, community experiences, choreography, and performance development throughout NYC and the surrounding areas. Our work goes beyond simply teaching choreography.

Led by Tonisha and the Creative Collective, our team brings together a range of styles and experiences including hip-hop, salsa, Latin fusion, performance training, dance fitness, choreography, and movement coaching. Every experience is tailored to the client’s goals, comfort level, and vision. Services include: • Wedding dance experiences • Parent dances • Private dance training • Social dance & confidence building • Sweet 16s, Quinceañeras & celebrations • Corporate & team-building experiences • Community dance workshops • Choreography & creative direction • Performance coaching & audition preparation • Femme Finesse dance experiences At The Dancing Designer, we believe dance is not just about performance it’s about confidence, connection, expression, and creating memorable experiences that stay with people long after the music ends.

We wanted to make sure we knew what we were doing during our first dance and working with the dancing designer was an absolute joy beyond learning how to move we learned communication and the awareness of working together. Overall we're so grateful to have worked with a dance instructor that was so caring and excellent at giving directions and helping us to have the most magical dance. Thank you so much for adding to the magic of our special day.

Tonisha is the ultimate professional and very fun to work with. She helped to coordinate a mother daughter dance, an intro and the first dance for my husband and I and although it was work, we had a great experience with her. She had our routines together in less than a month and we felt very confident on the dance floor on our big day. You will not regret choosing her to help your performance visions come to life.

Details: My group of 3-4 people • First dance • Parent dance (i.e., father/daughter) • What my teacher recommends • Waltz • Slow Dance • I'm flexible • No experience • My home, venue, etc.
