History of Hip Hop
Shane Sparks
Born in Ohio, Sparks began dancing when he was 11 years old. He eventually moved to Los Angeles where he joined a dance troupe called Cold Krush. This team performed in talent competitions, which eventually led to his next gig as the crew transformed into a singing group called the Cold Premiere. Eventually, they broke up and Sparks went on to dance in music videos for prominent artists of the day such as Brandy Norwood.
Wade Robson
An Australian native, you may know Robson from MTV's popular TV show, "The Wade Robson Project." He started his career by winning a dance competition, in which he performed his own rendition of a Michael Jackson routine. This led to a relationship with the King of Pop, and Jackson eventually invited Robson to perform with him when he came to Australia for a concert tour.
