Tim Foster,
The Dancin’ Man

Tim began his career in Oregon, where he trained and performed on the West Coast.  Tim also managed and served as co-director of his own dance studio and dance company. He decided to pursue a professional career in theater and moved to New York City, where he quickly found work as a professional dancer/actor/singer.

He is currently with the New York City Ballet’s Wardrobe Department, using his artistic skills to create the perfect shoe color match for the world-class dance company. He has emerged as an unparalleled artist in this capacity. Tim created over 100 pieces of art inspired by the colors of each ballet during the New York City Ballet Seasons and for George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.
