Tolson's times qualified him to compete in the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials and earned him induction into the Memorial High School and Manchester, NH Halls of Fame.

Graduating high school, he earned a full scholarship to St. Johns University, where he once again set records in track.

His senior year of college led him to the New York Shakespeare Festival tap program, also known as Funk U!

Tolson performed in the show alongside Grant and fellow tap dancers Jason Samuels Smith, Michelle Dorrance, Chloe Arnold, Dormeshia Sumbrey-Edwards, Ayodele Casel, Joseph Wiggin, Jason Janas, Jared Grimes, Jumaane Taylor, Tre Dumas, Brill Barrett, and more.

His goal was to promote the art of tap dance in the community while fostering a sense of individuality in a professional artist.

It was the first show the company has put on that only features choreographed dances by Tolson and improv solos by multiple members.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company expanded their platform and added "remote members" which call into rehearsals via Zoom.
