American actor, choreographer and dancer Robert Hoffman was born on September 21, 1980 in Gainesville, Florida. He was the eldest child in the family, helping his parents raise the younger ones - brother Chris and two sisters, Lauren and Ashley.

Giving

Even in Gainesville, little Robert went to a kindergarten where teachers taught children to dance. Especially the future actor liked to watch the clip of Michael Jackson Thriller. When Robert grew up, his parents sent him to an art school, where he was trained in modern dance. Hoffman was then accepted into the Ballet South group, which at the time was led by the legendary New Wave choreographer Wes Chapman. Robert turned out to be a talented dancer, worked under contract with Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Marilyn Manson. Dubbed pop singer Ricky Martin when he created his videos.

Dancing

Robert Hoffman was, among other things, in demand as a choreographer, as he had a natural gift as a dancer. It was distinguished by flexibility and plasticity, which created the impression of elegant refinement. Robert could improvise for half an houron stage and never repeat. As a dancer, he adhered to the classical school, but this did not stop him from receiving prizes for hip-hop performances.

Tatami training

Passion for dancing made Robert take up martial arts, he wanted to develop his body, give it more flexibility. Having received a black belt, he left the tatami and never returned to the sport. Then Hoffman became interested in making horror films in the manner of Hitchcock. He gathered a team of like-minded people, and they all together began to shoot "horror films", pouring liters of cherry juice on an impromptu film set, which was supposed to depict the blood of innocent victims. After Robert and his comrades pretty much scared their family and friends, the shooting stopped.

First roles

When Robert Hoffman began working in cinema, he immediately won the National Choreography Award for his participation in the film "Street Dance". From time to time, films were released on the big screen in which the dancer played various roles related to the art of dance. Pictures "Dirty Dancing-2: Nights in Havana", "Guess Who?", "Gigli", "From Justin to Kelly", "Coach Carter" enjoyed success with the public largely due to Hoffman's dance numbers. Hollywood screenwriters and producers immediately realized that a talented choreographer could be used in staging films like those in which Fred Astaire once shone. Robert Hoffman, whose films you likedpublic, did not object to such projects. He could shoot endlessly, the energy was in full swing.

Robert and Briana

Robert Hoffman has shown himself to be a versatile actor. Part of the time he devoted to work on television, acting in various serials. Among his works were the crime story "Vanished" and the show Wild N'Out, the serial "Aliens in the Attic", "Mushrooms", "She's a Man", "Step Up 2: The Streets". In the last film, Robert showed himself as a good performer of dramatic roles. He played art school student Chase Collins, who meets Andy (played by young actress Briana Evigan) and they become attracted to each other.

Young people create a team that must participate in street competitions. All the action takes place against the backdrop of nascent love. In this film, the audience saw the dancer as a young man in love who craves reciprocity and eventually gets it: Andy returns his feelings.

Creativity

Robert Hoffman, whose films the viewers are looking forward to, manages not only to act in serials. He opened his own project on the Punchrobert.com website, where he posts his own videos about fantastic characters that he himself invented. Hoffman's short sketches are shown on The CW.

Private life

The actor has limited free time, he tries to use his free minutes to good use, goes togyms, swims in the pool. Robert Hoffman, whose personal life is active and eventful, is not yet married and does not seem to be striving for this. Sometimes he visits nightclubs, occasionally sports competitions, sailing regattas or races at the hippodrome. Robert Hoffman and his wife (future, of course), and then the children will never stay at home, given the super-active lifestyle that the dancer leads today.

At one time, the audience considered the partner of the actor in the film "Step Up 2: The Streets" - the charming dancer Briana Evigan - his possible passion. It all started with the fact that Robert and Briana received a joint prize in the category "Best Kiss" at the MTV Movie Awards-2008. However, it soon became clear that the relationship of this couple is purely friendly. The audience instantly lost interest, and the gossip stopped. Robert Hoffman does not date girls and thus does not give journalists a reason to gossip.
