He has also worked with Beyonce, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Kesha, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Brandy and countless other celebrities.

Anthony initially became interested in dance when he witnessed the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. He was amazed, he told Amber, that a brown man was dancing ballet. Of course, after that, Anthony jumped in and immersed himself in dance and formed his own unique type of dance, which blended ballet with commercial dance styles. He went on to appear on Broadway in a Twyla Tharp musical and won numerous awards including the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography for Beyonce’s Sorry.

Anthony is incredibly busy these days.

He is looking for just the right building in Atlanta so he can open a performing arts school and the Anthony Burrell Center for Dance in 2017.
