Growing up in Florida, Robert Hoffman started taking dance lessons when he was in kindergarten after being inspired by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. He later attended a fine-arts high school and became a member of Ballet South, headed by American Ballet Company legend Wes Chapman.

His first major acting role was in She's the Man (2006) opposite Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum, and his first starring role in a major motion picture was in Step Up 2 the Streets (2008). On television, Hoffman played Adam Putnam in six episodes of the Fox drama Vanished and has made guest appearances on American Dreams, Quintuplets, CSI: Miami, MTV's Short Circuitz and Campus Ladies. From 2005 to 2006 he starred on MTV's hit improv series Wild 'n Out, produced by Nick Cannon.

Hoffman has also filmed a role in Kids in America (2008), co-starring Topher Grace and Michelle Trachtenberg. In addition to acting, he has worked as a choreographer on a number of projects, including You Got Served (2004).

In his spare time, he enjoys making short films.
