Karaty has also expertly choreographed major feature films including Disney's "Prom," "Music & Lyrics" with Drew Barrymore and "Did You Hear About The Morgans with" Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker.Karaty was born just outside New York City to Broadway veterans Tom and Jane Karaty so it's no surprise dance is a huge part of his life. Although his theater roots remain a tremendous influence on his work, Karaty initially chose sneakers and hip-hop over a career in theater. His unique path allows Karaty to infuse his work with the spirit of classic inspirations like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and trailblazers in the hip-hop and pop culture like Michael Jackson.During college at New York University, Karaty spent his free time teaching at the popular Tremaine Dance Conventions where he met friend and collaborator Wade Robson. During his junior year, Karaty made his Broadway debut in the smash hit "Footloose" and soon began dancing with Britney Spears on the MTV Video Music Awards and The Billboard Awards.After graduating from NYU with a B.A. in journalism, Karaty decided it was time to make the move to Hollywood where he and Robson continued to collaborate. Their rise was fast and furious; including high-profile projects like Spears' first Pepsi commercial and the *NSYNC world tour.Karaty then branched out on his own, choreographing Jessica Simpson's Irresistible and Little Bit music videos and serving as Artistic Director for Simpson's 2001 world tour. He also worked with Kylie Minogue on many of her television appearances, as well as a long list of cutting edge artists like Justin Timberlake and Usher. Although he quickly became known for his work in pop music, Karaty broadened his reach by choreographing or appearing in ground-breaking commercials for iPod, Best Buy, Mattel, Miller, Dance Central 2, Xbox Kinect and many more.Beyond his role as a Judge on numerous television series around the world, Karaty has his sights set on producing and directing films, television and theater. He is currently in development on several film and television projects and even a Broadway production of his own. Show less «
