He began his multidisciplinary training at Marymount Manhattan College, where he performed works by renowned choreographers including Robert Battle, Elizabeth Higgins, Jiří Kylián, David Parsons, Katie Langan, and William Soleau.
In the late 1990s, he launched his professional tap-dancing career, and by 1999 he was already performing as a soloist at various festivals and stage productions.
In 2002, Anthony joined Michael Minery’s company, Tapaholics, as a soloist until 2012. During those same years, he also developed an artistic partnership with Stacey Tookey, performing as a soloist and serving as associate choreographer for Still Motion.
His first television appearance came in 2005 on The Tony Danza Show, followed by America’s Got Talent in 2009, The Arsenio Hall Show in 2013, and multiple appearances on So You Think You Can Dance, where he was featured for his Emmy-nominated choreography.
As executive producer and artistic director of AM Dance Productions, he has created and overseen numerous shows, including AM Dance Project, flood, The Text, When Snow Falls, and Alternate Spaces, among others.
In 2010, Anthony joined the NUVO Dance Convention as a faculty member, performer, and adjudicator, a position he held for ten years, until 2020.
In 2014, he co-founded Operation: Tap, a platform dedicated to promoting and advancing tap dance, where he continues to serve as co-director and creative collaborator. That same year, he began a series of choreographic residencies at his alma mater, Marymount Manhattan College.
In 2019, alongside his creative work, he developed CODA, an evaluation platform for Break The Floor’s online competitions, integrating data analysis, educational video content, and specialized feedback.
More recently, Anthony choreographed and performed in Ayodele Casel: Chasing Magic, presented by The Joyce Theater in New York City.
His world record, achieved by producing the highest number of tap sounds in one minute -1,163 sounds-, cements his status as one of the leading figures in contemporary international tap dance, a discipline he continues to teach and elevate as he travels the world.
