Principal Dancer
Camargo's career arc traces an extraordinary rise from provincial Brazilian ballet schools to the principal ranks of Europe's most prestigious companies. After rigorous training at the John Cranko School under Russian pedagogue Peter Pestov, he joined Stuttgart Ballet in 2009 and achieved principal dancer status by age twenty-two—a promotion accelerated by his commanding interpretation of Basilio in *Don Quixote*, where he was selected over established principals. His subsequent tenure at Dutch National Ballet (2016–2019) consolidated his international reputation before his appointment as principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre in 2022, where he has become a cornerstone interpreter of the classical repertoire.
Promoted to Principal Dancer at Stuttgart Ballet in 2013 at age twenty-two, becoming one of the company's youngest principals in recent history
