Introduction to Belly Dance with Olivia
About Olivia
Olivia began her journey as a dancer when she was a young girl growing up in the Sierra Foothills. She studied ballet and performed in the nutcracker annually. Her background in ballet and yoga have helped shape her as a performing artist today. She began her belly dancing career two years ago when she picked up gigs dancing in Middle Eastern restaurants, hookah lounges and holiday parties in the Sacramento area. She believes that dance and movement are integral to leading a centered and harmonious life and is very excited to share her knowledge here with us at Vibe!
