Detlef Soost

However, there is no doubt that Soost in this time was one of the most important people in (East) Berlin's streetdance scene.

[citation needed] In 2005, Soost published his autobiography Neger – Heimkind – Pionier ("Negro – Orphan – Pioneer").

In the years after the German reunification, he started a career as a professional choreographer and dance teacher.

Soost has been the choreographer and head of jury in every season of the German version of Popstars, broadcast by ProSieben.

On the German music television channel VIVA, Soost hosted, presented and led all four seasons (2005–2008) of the casting show DanceStar.
