Toni Beck Bosner was founding chairwoman of Southern Methodist University's dance department, which became a highlight of her legacy.
Bosner's many other accomplishments include being an early pioneer in teaching the Martha Graham technique of dance in Dallas. She later taught dance and choreography internationally, from Tokyo to Amsterdam.
She also instructed exercise classes for the well-heeled in Dallas homes, a springboard to her helping create and lead luxurious spas. She briefly had her own Dallas dance company.
Bosner, 92, died June 17 of natural causes at Tradition Memory Care in Dallas. She had lived with dementia for several years.
A celebration of Bosner's life will be at 2 p.m. July 29 at Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home. Bosner donated her remains to the Willed Body Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
"I would say she was the mother of the dance division at SMU," said Patty Harrington Delaney, chair of the division at the university's Meadows School of the Arts.
