Description
My name is Anthony Sampson. I currently operate Redd's Angelz Ent and am a creative director of Hiplet Ballerinas . I provide a safe space for dancers to advance their craft and ultimately become a part of a dance family. I have given dancers many booking opportunities including Kanye West's "DONDA", Chicago Bulls games, Bridgerton "The Immersive Experience", Hiplet Ballerinas tour and more.
