About Tricia Miranda
Brief Biography
Tricia Miranda was born on January 19, 1980 in Yuma, Arizona, United States, as daughter of a Mexican father and mother, aka she is Latino.
She started thinking about a serious dance career at around 16 or 17 because she’d been dancing, competing, and choreographing since before she was 10. She definitely had the passion for it. But after watching Paula Abdul and Britney Spears performing on Awards shows in the early 2000s, she knew she had found the career for her. Her parents supported her ambitions right at the beginning, because she is from a small town where very few people barely graduate from high school. When she showed interest in pursuing a career like this, her parents were very excited! At first, thinking of her as a star was crazy, but they are her super fans. They especially brag about her since she has become involved with so many huge projects.
She was part of a huge convention so she always posted videos online. Tricia was going on tour and to promote her classes she hired a videographer (Tim Milgram). Suddenly, her videos like Anaconda and Rihanna’s B*tch Better Have My Money started going viral. She wasn’t trying to gain popularity through YouTube, but the videos helped her get more industry work like national commercials and feature films.
Tricia's style is very mixed but she is inspired a lot by dancehall and African dances. She things about her choreography is that it’s never just one style — it’s never just African or just dancehall. Some of my pieces have jazz funk where yone will see her technical side come out, given her ballet background. Other pieces, like in tour-orgaphy, are simple and clean but very effective. She was born in the 80s and raised in the 90s, so her choreography is athletic and very big and energetic. It’s definitely demanding. But that’s what makes it exciting and unique for her. She compares other dancers to the kids from LA because at eight years old, they’re dancing better than a lot of adults. She can be demanding and expect a lot from students that haven’t had the same training and exposure. But working in other studios across the world humbles her because she learns to work with different levels of experience and styles.
Some of Tricia’s performance credits include: Britney Spears, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, JLo, Usher, Tom Cruise, Prince and even played Dwayne Wade’s dance partner in the feature film “What To Expect When You’re Expecting”. She has choreographed for artists such as Nicki Minaj, The Backstreet Boys, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce, Demi Lovato, Will I Am, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, The Dream, Jamie Foxx, Nick Cannon, Kendrick Lamar and Missy Elliott for the 2015 SUPER BOWL halftime show.
Tricia has performed and choreographed for countless awards shows and television shows including SYTYCD, America’s Got Talent, The X Factor USA, American Idol, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, RuPaul’s Drag U, The American Music Awards, MTV VMA’s, the Grammy’s and the feature film Baywatch. Her commercial work includes Walmart, Spotify, Sprint, Sears, Nair, Skechers, Starbucks and H&M. Alongside her industry work, Tricia has also become a viral sensation from her unique YouTube videos. Her channel has reached 420M+ views and has been recognized by The New York Times, The Huffington Post, GLAMOUR magazine, BuzzFeed and ESPN Women. Tricia currently travels the country with the prestigious dance convention “Radix.”[1]
