dance at an early age, performing in hometown talent shows and
high school showcases. After graduating from high school, Sparks
moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams. He began subbing a
hip-hop class at the Millennium Dance Complex, formerly known as
Moro Landis, now located in the No Ho Arts District. His class
quickly grew from three people to a record 175. Sparks has worked with artists such as Lindsay Lohan, Marques Houston and Omarion of B2K on the film “You Got Served,” and in the new R&B sensation O’Ryan’s (Omarion’s younger brother) video, “Take it Slow,” as well as his promotional tour.

| "Born and
raised in Queens, New York,Cicely Bradley and Olisa Thompson are
the award-winning, show-stopping choreographing team known as
Nu-Stylz. Drawn together by their mutual love for dancing, the
dynamicduo has been performing together since the 4th grade. As
children Nu-Stylz danced almost every day. They would perform
their high-energy dance routines for anyone, anywhere! It didn’t
matter if they were in a backyard or in a ballroom, Nu-Stylz
would always be the center of attention when the music came on.
By the time they were teens they’d already earned a reputation
for ripping downstages at dance competitions, college shows and
even the world-famous Apollo. Their professional career
officially launched when at the age of 15 they were selected out
of hundreds to dance with Ralph Tresvant of the R&B group New
Edition. Since then, Nu-Stylz has gone on to become one of the
hottest chorographers in the business, working with top
entertainers such as G-Unit, Missy Elliott, Tweet, Daddy Yankee,
Mario, The Fugees, and Whitney Houston. As their name implies, Nu-Stylz is a dance unit that creates original moves and sparks the hottest dance trends. They bring massive energy and unparalleled “flava” to any project they work on. Their choreography on Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On” music video earned them nominations at the 7th Annual American Choreography Awards and the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. At the 10th Annual American Choreography Awards they won the Outstanding Achievement in Choreography award for their work on Missy’s “Pass the Dutch” music video." |
