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
Bespoke deep rotator drills to build secure placement and control.

✓ Foot & Ankle Resilience
Targeted articulation training to prepare your feet for safe pointe work.

✓ Core & Trunk Stability
Functional conditioning engineered for high extensions and steady balances.

✓ Injury-Proof Conditioning
Integrating injury pathology to support overall dancer longevity.

  • "Working with Olivia through online coaching, the On-Demand Studio, and workshops has taught Lylah to understand gentle discipline and strength of body. Olivia’s training has made a significant difference in her dance over the past two years despite the location difference."
