My Dance Journey

I trained at the Royal Ballet School (London) and danced professionally with Royal Ballet of Flanders and Northern Ballet.

In 2015, I brought my UK expertise to New Zealand. As Head of Ballet, I specialised in vocational preparation, consistently achieving 100% RAD exam pass rates for my students. Today, I combine that professional stage experience with clinical Pilates to help the next generation of dancers stay strong and injury-free.

WHY DANCERS TRAIN WITH ME

I combine ballet precision with Pilates principles to solve your real challenges:

✓ Turnout strength

✓ Foot/ankle resilience

✓ Core stability for pointe

✓ Injury-proof conditioning

  • "This is such a great opportunity for dancers. Olivia has extensive knowledge of ballet and pilates and combines them in the best way possible."
