Anthony Foster (MW+)

Anthony Foster is the Co-Owner & Vice President of Sole Unique Dance Complex and the Executive Director of Soleunique Dance Company.

His training background consists of The School of Ballet Chicago, Gus Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago & Barat College Conservatory of Dance.

His dance collective is a culmination of styles, methods, and disciplines, including contemporary, abstract, and classical ballet, funk, hip hop, house, and jazz brought on by early-aged exposure to street-style, breakdance, and gymnastic training (1996 IHSA State Gymnastic Team member).

His conclusive theatrical dance performances include positions with Chicago dance companies NoMi and Elements Contemporary Ballet.
