Bruno Tonioli Fuller House.
It was absolutely appropriate that Bruno Tonioli appeared on Fuller House as Ramona’s dance instructor. The daughter of Kimmy Gibler, Ramona, is the best dancer in Fuller House, and every great dancer requires a great coach. Everyone has learned at least that through the numerous seasons of Dance Moms. She is obviously ecstatic when she receives a callback for an audition with a renowned Italian dance instructor.
