"The first time Toledo ever saw me I was sitting at the bar at the Derby. He said I had dancers calves. I told him that I had seen him when he played up in Chico and that I followed the show back to LA. He asked if I was hungry. I've been a Dame ever since. Nothing can compare to being a Dame - I get to go places that are boundless. The show is any dancers dream come true."

"There is nothing quite like being a Dame. I've toured the dance worlds of tap, modern, jazz, Polynesian, belly dancing and West Africa. But my
home is the dark school of The Toledo Show: one part Bob Fosse, one part Alvin Ailey, exclusively Toledo. When I'm not slinking across the stage in a vintage slip, I'm curled up with my sexy iBook laptop, working on my second book."

"I met Toledo in the night. He liked my look. I said that I studied dance. Then he choreographed me and I understood what dance really was - the heartbeat of my soul. But you see, I also have a passion for acting (I'm studying at a theatre academy) and the theatrics and storytelling that is such a big part of The Toledo Show makes being a Dame my ultimate high. I'm a very lucky girl."

"I'm a small town girl who actually graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. But there is no role quite like that of a Dame. Sometime Noir. Sometime
something I wonder what they'd think if they saw it back home (friends from my home town that have seen it say wow! Emily I didn't know you had such a
dark smoltering woman inside of you!). But always something that takes me to a deeper part of me, a part that I'm a little scared but always excited to see. T will always be 'BIG DADDY'!"

"Tani"
"Born into a showbiz family of true old school dancers and choreographers, I was destined to this life that was my breath. But when I became a Dame I entered a whole new realm. I've added 'Dame' to my list of credentials because it's a catagory all it's own."

  Michelle Barragan
"I've been a huge fan of The Toledo Show since 1996 and couldn't wait for the day to actually become a part of it. Being a Dame is a soul-inspiring adrenaline rush that flows through my veins and comes out through my body right onto the stage."
