Fabulous time on Jan 21 at Miles Brown’s 18th birthday party! I’ve known Miles since I called him Baby Boogaloo at five years old and mom and dad were taking him around to all the street dance battles. You can tell by the pictures it was a 70’s theme . Yes that’s one of my original locker outfits from 1973. One of the highlights of the night was Flo Master and I getting to meet rap legend Big Daddy Kane! @milesbrown #clubpeacelovesoul #black-ish #thelockers #doncampbell #tonibasil #thecampbellock @officialbigdaddykane #gregcampbellockjr #babyboogaloo #jackjohnson #fredrerunbarry #slimtherobot #flukylukeb #shabbadoo #electricboogaloos #flomaster73

Saw Wayne Brady’s Show “Made Up Mixtape” last night at the Bourbon Room. Absolutely brilliant! Jaw dropping! Mega talent! I just can’t think of enough words to describe him! Wow! #tonibasil #waynebrady #hollywood #heymickey #streetdance #singer #dancer #performer #improv #comedy
An incredible night at the 27th costume designers guild award. Was so honored to be invited by Bette Midler to sit at her table while she received the distinguished collaborator award. Billy Crystal presented the award and the two of them together literally brought down the house! They were so funny. They gave her an award but she gave them the gift of entertainment. What a fabulous night! I also got to visit with my good friend Austin Butler, whom I coached for his audition with Baz Luhrmann for the role of Elvis.(I guess that worked out) #theoscars #cdga #costumedesignersguildaward #bettemidler #distinguishedcollaboratoraward #elvis #austinbutler #bazlurmann #cathernmartin #angelabassett #wakandaforever #brucevalanch #tonibasil #heymickey

Such a huge loss to the street dance community. @luigi_swan will be deeply missed. #streetdance #thelockers #campbellocking #waacking #locking #poppin #luigiswan #choreographer @repost A te, che eri come me… Con quegli occhi azzurri come il mare, lo stesso mare che ci ha cresciuti, in due città diverse, ma con la stessa “croce”. Ci siamo riconosciuti subito in questo, sin dal primo sguardo.. Due scugnizzi del sud.. Ci parlavamo in dialetto, le parolacce, le battute..tu in tarantino e io napoletano, e mi sentivo subito a casa.. Insieme avevamo quella tempra, quella cazzimma, che ci faceva spingere sempre, fino a distruggerci il corpo.. A te, che eri come me, e che a furia di dare, dare, e ancora dare, il tuo corpo non ha retto più… Avevi un animo buono, sempre pronto ad aiutare.. E quelle tue ferite, che ti portavi dentro,che volevi sempre nascondere, ma io sapevo.. E ci restavi tanto male quando le persone si allontanavano senza motivo.. A te, che eri come me, e quindi : “ C’è magnamm’ fratm’ “ Questo urlavamo ogni volta che ci esibivamo, e io ti vedevo esplodere con una forza che mi rimarrà sempre impressa ! Ti ho amato incondizionatamente Luì, perché eri un vero amico, e sapevi TUTTO di me, e io di te.. Mi hai insegnato a lasciare andare, perché mi dicesti che nella vita, ci sono cose che sono fuori dal nostro controllo.. Ma stavolta non posso Luì, sei stato troppo per me.. Quel troppo che non basta il resto della mia vita.. Amico mio sai, mi ritrovo qui a scrivere queste righe e penso che, non è vero che chi ama non dimentica, ma solo chi ama, ed è stato educato ad amare incondizionatamente, senza voler niente in cambio, allora, veramente, non dimentica ! A te, Luigi, Swan, che eri come me, e ora non ci sei più… Tienimi stretto a te ! Per sempre.. Il tuo sasà “ cor’ mij “
