Today we celebrate our beautiful senior, Olivia.

Olivia started dancing at just 3 years old, her family moved to Salida while she was in 3rd grade, and she has been part of Believe Dance Academy from the very beginning. Watching her grow up alongside our studio has been such a gift.

Olivia’s favorite styles of dance are ballet and contemporary/jazz-inspired styles.

This fall, Olivia will be heading to the University of Colorado Boulder to study psychology on the pre-law track, and we couldn’t be more proud of her.

When asked about her favorite memory at Believe Dance Academy, Olivia said:
“Watching Lake and Ebby find out they were getting en pointe.” 🩰

And honestly… that says so much about who Olivia is. Supportive, encouraging, thoughtful, and genuinely excited for others.

Olivia, thank you for sharing your love of dance with us over the years. Your presence in the studio will be so missed, but we cannot wait to watch you chase your dreams in this next chapter.

You will always be part of our Believe Dance Family!!

We love you, Olivia!
