Olivia started her Divine journey in 2016, and has been dancing since she was sixteen in all styles of dance. Having been a thespian in her hometown she made a journey to Seattle where she lost dance. She came back wanting to try something new having bounced back from a past life she not only found dance again but found Divine Movement. Never did she think she would find a place where she could blend both of her passions. Dance and Sensuality. Having moved to Seattle and never really feeling like she fit in, it’s nice to find a place she can call home. Now she’s in the Boudoir and Pole world and you can probably catch her slithering across the floor and hair tossing her way across the room.

She loves the sensual nature of Pole and Boudoir Dance, the feeling of spin pole, and all of the little victories that come with gaining strength and learning new tricks!
