ANDREW CAMACHO

Andrew’s passion for dance ignited at the tender age of three, as he trained at Shirley’s Dance Studio in Crest Hill, Illinois. Over the years, he has immersed himself in various dance styles, including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, and acro. His extensive training has been complemented by numerous workshops and intensives at renowned dance studios such as Lou Conte Studio, Visceral Dance, Xtreme Dance Center, and The Puzzle Box.

For over a decade, Andrew has been an active participant in dance competitions, both regionally and nationally. His talent has earned him numerous awards, including Crowd Pleaser, Outstanding Dancer, Standout Dancer, Mr. Energy, and Dance Spirit Magazine Future Star. During his high school years, he competed on the varsity dance team at Minooka High School and the competitive Xtreme Dance Force team.

Before joining Thrive, Andrew dedicated his time to teaching recreational dance, poms, cheer, acro, and choreography for dancers and performers at a local Park District. His expertise extended beyond teaching, as he served as a coach for all three levels of teams, a floor judge, and played a role in organizing and running various competitions. Andrew truly enjoys sharing his love of dance with students and fellow dancers.
