Olivia originally trained with Next Generation Ballet in Tampa, Florida before she joined Ballet West’s Trainee program in 2014. From there, she spent a year in the Ballet West Second Company and went on to dance 8 seasons with the main company. She competed in YAGP, IBC, VKIBC, and Prix de Lausanne over the course of her ballet career and recently decided to leave professional dance to become a teacher.
