He has won numerous awards at events such as the Burgos-New York Choreographic Contest, the Hannover International Choreography Contest, the Choreographic Contest of Madrid or the International Theater and Dance Fair of Huesca. His work is based on three fundamental pillars: the language of contact, the social dimension of dance and the breaking of the fourth wall, seeking to connect more with the public, incorporating it into the piece and making dance a personal experience also for the viewer. Major international dance companies, such as the National Ballet of Paraguay, LaMov Dance Company (Spain), Vertigo Dance Company (Israel), Compagnie Jus de la Vie (Sweden), Theater Bielefeld (Germany) or the National Dance Company (Spain) they have in their repertoire creations of Sharon Fridman.

During his career, he develops his vision of body movement and weight in different angles: martial arts, street dance, ballet and contemporary dance bring him diversity in movement expression research and spirituality. He has choreographed for French festivals and ballet companies and holds master classes in different cities such as Santa Barbara, Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Begin, Bangkok, Makao, Geneva, Barcelona or Cannes.
