Andrew Tamez Hull (Drew) is a triple threat: actor, dancer, and musician who is talented in three areas of the arts: dancing, acting, and singing. Although Drew has trained in most, if not all, styles of dance, his main forte is Hip Hop. He has spent half of his life competing with Xtreme Dance Force and training with Chicago’s Dance 2XS and Boom Crack. Drew has danced behind artists including Ludacris, Silento, Danity Kane and also choreographed a set for the B96 Pepsi Summer Bash.

As a choreographer, Drew has won numerous awards for his Hip Hop choreography, and he travels to work with the LSU Tiger Girls, one of our nation’s top dance teams. To strengthen his dance ability, Drew has trained in salsa, rumba and tango and swing partner dances. As an actor, Drew has been featured in two major motions pictures including Gran Torino (as a gang member) and was fortunate to work with Clint Eastwood, one of Hollywood’s best directors. Drew also appeared in season two of Empire and acted in Hulu’s tv series Wild Cards episodes 1, 2, and 3, appearing as himself. Drew also had the lead in the indie film Street Boy and has appeared in commercials for Diet Dr. Pepper and Hefty. As a singer, Drew was a finalist in the 2003 Aurora Idol competition and appeared on the TV show Inspiration Sensation on channel TLN in 2005. Currently, Drew has been releasing his music on iTunes under his artist name Dru.

Drew’s main focus is his love of dance, and he has decided to focus on teaching, choreographing, and coaching. Along with teaching and mentoring students at Soul 2 Sole Dance, Inc., Drew also teaches dance classes at Visceral Dance Center and Joffrey in Chicago. Drew is Coach and Artistic Director of Phenom Dance Company at Soul 2 Sole Dance, Inc.. His goal is to inspire and make every student count on the dance floor and to achieve their personal goals.
