Sherman Shoate
    Sherman was born in San Pablo, California, and grew up in San Diego. While attending Mesa College, where he was a member of the football and track teams, he enrolled in Angie Bunch's Hip Hop class and was instantly drawn to dancing. Following only his instincts, Sherman declined several sports scholarship offers in order to pursue a career in dancing.
      He continued to study under Angie's direction, and joined Culture Shock Dance Troupe in 1998. Sherman's innate talent for performing and brilliant stage presence quickly earned representation with DDO and BLOC Talent Agency. His credits include several music videos for Missy Elliott, and Britney Spears, as well as concert tours with TLC, Chante Moore, Mary J. Blige and Destiny's Child. He has performed at Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, in movies and television commercials, at a number of television stations and several local theaters. His most valued role, however, comes as the director of Culture Shock San Diego, having carried the title for over seven years.
      Sherman is currently an instructor at Culture Shock Dance Center, where he teaches all levels of hip hop. He is frequently called upon to instruct classes nationally and worldwide.
