After college, she performed with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and was on scholarship with Jump Rhythm Jazz Project in Chicago. In NYC she performed as a Professional Piano Dancer at FAO Schwarz. She was an assistant for the Rockettes summer intensive and performed with Opera Manhattan. Andrea also rekindled her love of teaching while in NYC. She was a teacher at a new studio, Downtown Dance Factory in Tribeca. In addition to her performing career, Andrea has choreographed over 15 musicals and musical reviews for Children's Theater of Elgin, Fox Valley Youth Company, Elgin High School, and the University of Illinois. She is very excited to be back in the area and to start teaching again!!
