Sparks is largely recognized due in part to his role on the “So You Think You Can Dance” hit reality TV show. Similar to American Idol, Sparks sits on a panel of three judges (including executive producer Nigel Lythgoe) and also choreographs astonishing hip hop routines. “So You Think You Can Dance’s” second season was garnered as one of the top 10 television programs in 2006-- averaging a whopping 10 million viewers per episode, which was up nearly 20 percent from its debut in summer 2005.
