Olivia Richards

Jazz

Olivia Richards grew up dancing in a small town in Oklahoma. After high school, she went on to get her BFA in “Performance Dance” from the University of Central Oklahoma. In 2011, Olivia made the bold decision to sell her things and move to Las Vegas without a job lined up and only a thousand dollars in her pocket. Olivia spent the next 10 years dancing in various shows and venues along the prestigious Las Vegas strip, teaching dance and fitness along the way. Throughout her career, she was fortunate to travel to perform all over the globe. She also made multiple appearances in television shows, music videos, and even danced alongside “Guns n’ Roses.”


In 2017, Olivia met her now husband (a performer as well) and in 2021 she decided to retire from performing to become a mother. Olivia is passionate about teaching and is deeply fulfilled by sharing her love of movement and music with students of all ages and abilities.
