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.

Sparks was also the choreographer for *NSYNC’s 2004 Challenge for the Children Celebrity Basketball Game at the Office Depot Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Sparks was a judge for the 2004 World Hip-Hop Championship. He was also a choreographer for the Wade Robson workshop held in Miami.

He choreographed and appeared in the videos Learn To Hip Hop (2001) and Learn To Hip Hop: Volume 2 (2003).
