Whilst in America Olivia was offered a position in Miami City Ballet’s Finishing Year Program where she studied Balanchine and Bourneville styled techniques.

Upon returning to Australia Olivia continued her training at WAAPA where she gained immeasurable performance experience across a diverse range of styles. She was able to work closely with national and international choreographers, acclaimed teachers and lecturers from whom she gained a vast wealth of knowledge, understanding and artistry on which she expands on to this day.
Whilst at WAAPA Olivia was exposed to many opportunities including international workshops, choreographic experience, professional level performance experience, secondments with major Australian companies, and performances by international visiting artists. She graduated again as Dux of her class with an Advanced Diploma in Dance.
