Not really... I am a mover but really I leave the dancing to the professionals.

Vocal Experience

Years of freestyle rapping with my friends in Washington Heights, which has led to some really great opportunities for me to exhibit my skills on Broadway.

Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the musical In the Heights, which premiered on Broadway in 2008.

Film/Stage Tech Experience

I was the stage manager in 11th grade for an underground production that you've never heard of. That probably isn't the experience you're talking about.
