John W. Engeman Theater
Director: Paul Stancato
Choreographer: Sandalio Alvarez

“When I was 15 years old,, Sandalio Alvarez (Broadway/National Tour: In the Heights, The Lion King) offered me the opportunity to Associate Choreograph my first professional production of In the Heights in New York at John W. Engeman Theater. My high school allowed me to take a professional leave during my Junior year for the opportunity. It was my responsibility to contribute my choreographic ideas during Pre Production, teach the choreography to the cast, help track each role of the show, and ensure that the choreography is maintained throughout the run of the show. This show is what ignited my motivation to work towards choreographing a Broadway production in the future."
