Olivia is passionate about supporting and guiding this generation of dance teachers. Her mission is to give practical solutions to common classroom problems so that dance teachers can excel.

Olivia believes that effective teaching strategies should be shared to combat the isolation that dance teachers often feel. Olivia does this through the products and services offered by Dance ED Tips, as well as contributing to other publications, such as Dance Studio Life Magazine, Dance-Teacher.com, and the Business of Dance Podcast.
