Marcus Sophus II on his first game as a member of the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers

ARLINGTON -- Marcus Sophus II began dancing at age six.

While attending an elementary magnet school, Sophus developed the foundation for what would become his life's passion. He studied jazz, hip hop, contemporary and beginner's ballet on his way to developing a diverse dance background. He later went on to dance in high school and actually helped his coach choreograph the drill team's routines throughout the season. Ironically, at 6'4, his personal specialty was the traditional kick-line.

While in college, he auditioned for "SoReal" Performing Arts Center which is best known for its success on MTV's Americas Best Dance Crew.
