ASM Interview: Shane Sparks

Interview by Jeff Ferrantino
American Superstar Magazine

Shane Sparks started dancing at the age of 11 when he attended a local dance called the Easterball. Hooked on dancing from that point on, he performed in hometown talent shows and high school showcases, performing such dances as "The Robot," "The Running Man," and the "Cabbage Patch Kid," in addition to holding rehearsals in his backyard.

Following a move to Los Angeles, Sparks began getting work as a choreographer for venues such as the American Music Awards, as well as getting a modeling and dancing contract with L'Oréal's Matrix hair products. He has choreographed for A-list musical artists such as Ak'sent, Lindsay Lohan, Marques Houston and Omarion, among others. He received the industry's prestigious "Best Choreography in a Feature Film" award for "You Got Served" at the 2004 American Choreography Awards, as well as a 2005 BET Award for co-choreographing with Omarion.

Sparks is largely recognized due to Fox's national hit TV show, "So You Think You Can Dance," where he was hand-picked by executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. Sparks sits on the panel of three judges and choreographs for the show.

In an exclusive interview with ASM, the emerging choreographer speaks about his past and desire to change the world of dance.
