Shelley Page Hoselton

Shelley Page Hoselton is the owner and director of Talent Forum, home of Forum Dance Theatre and Footprints Tap Ensemble. Shelley is the Executive Director for both highly acclaimed, not-for-profit youth dance performance companies celebrating 25 years+. During the past 10 years she welcomed Forum Squad for hip hop dancers, and Forum Starz for younger dancers seeking more performance opportunities at TF. Still loving each step of her 36-year journey so far, she has tried to put forth excellence by providing a nurturing atmosphere and the finest training staff. Providing a facility that has opportunities for those who dream of a professional career in dance, or to have dance in their life as healthy recreation maintains Shelley’s mission.

From age 3 she studied dance with her mentor, Betty Daly Rahmel. When trained by Mrs. Daly, one learns love for the art of dance, the importance of technique and how to pass it on to others, and respect for all. Receiving a "Juba", for excellence in the arts, from the Chicago Human Rhythm Project, is one of Shelley’s greatest honors. She was a model and actress at age 5 and became one of the top 10 child models in Chicago by age 11. She was in numerous TV commercials, radio spots and print ads. She owned and operated North Shore Talent Agency throughout the 90s.

Also, Shelley is the Executive Producer of the Mickey Rooney Short film "The Yesterday Pool". Her primary focus is the studio, yet she continues to explore new horizons.
