Shaun T is a native of New Jersey currently residing in New York City. Shaun began training for his love of dance at Rowan University, where he received his BS in Sports Science and a minor in Theater/Dance.
Shaun has danced in theater and television, and has worked with various artists. Some of his credits include the original cast, as well as the workshop crew starring Val Kilmer, of the musical version of The Ten Commandments; Pippin; and Applause. Shaun has appeared on TV shows such as HBO’s Six Feet Under and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno; the cable channel BBC America; and the movie Beauty Shop starring Queen Latifah. He has danced with artists such as Mariah Carey, Aaron and Nick Carter, and Elephant Man. Shaun has worked with many companies, including Nike, Radio Shack, the Los Angeles Lakers, Marc Jacobs, and Boost athletic shoes.
Shaun’s choreography started almost as soon as he started dancing, choreographing events such as the NCAA Final 4 halftime show, Aaron and Nick Carter’s “Twister Moves” tour (Wal-Mart), and the Garden State Dance Festival. Shaun worked with Tony Gonzalez choreographing the movie Bring It On: All or Nothing. He collaborated on Kathy Smith’s Project: YOU™, where he incorporated his love of dance and his studies of fitness in the creation of those workouts.
In February 2007, Shaun created Hip Hop Abs®, a workout program specifically designed to target your abs. Hip Hop Abs quickly became America’s #1 fitness program on TV. In 2008, Shaun released two new programs for young people: Shaun T’s Fit Kids® Club, a workout series designed specifically for kids ages 7 and up, and Get Real With Shaun T™ for preteens. Also, in 2008, Shaun released Rockin’ Body®, featuring calorie-burning cardio and full-body sculpting set to the hottest hits of all time. He has most recently released INSANITY—his most extreme fitness series yet—in July 2009.
Shaun can be found presenting at many fitness conventions around the world and making numerous television appearances, including CNN and The Ellen DeGeneres Show
