Elizabeth Rivera was born in Aurora, Illinois but raised in Oswego, Illinois. Elizabeth started her dance journey at the age of 5 at a local park district, but later transitioned to the competitive dance world and auditioned for Xtreme Dance Force. There she became a loyal member for 12 years under the training of Sam Renzetti, JC Renzetti, Samantha Kotrba, Robert Lewis, Devon Perri, Vic Ocasio, Alvin Ramirez, and Susan Skrzymowski. Elizabeth has also had the opportunity to work with top choreographers and teachers in the nation such as Monyett Crump, Andrew Phan, Josh Killacky, Hamilton Evans, Chuck Maldonado, Matt Pumanes, Tricia Miranda, Ade Willis, Sean Lew, Kaycee Rice and many more. During her time on the competitive team, she was fortunate enough to audition for America’s Got Talent, perform/ compete at World of Dance Chicago, and dance in the Chicago Bulls halftime show. She is also grateful to have won 7 Victory Cups during her time on the company. Elizabeth was also a member of the Oswego High School Dance team during her Junior and Senior year where she was fortunate to learn Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Modern and more but chooses to have hip hop as her primary focus. Elizabeth is very thrilled to be able to share her craft and knowledge to the next generation of dancers to come.
