About Mandy Jiroux:
Mandy got her start by choreographing and dancing behind her best friend Miley Cyrus, and the partnership eventually led to the launch of the groundbreaking YouTube channel, “The Miley & Mandy Show.â€Â  An immediate sensation, the channel helped solidify the standard vlogging format on YouTube. Their friendly dance competitions led to online battles between their M&M Cru and “Step Up!†director Jon Chu and Adam Sevani’s ACDC dance troupe, creating “The Biggest Online Dance Battle,†always with a who’s who of special guests.
