Hi, I'm OLIVE!
I'm passionate about dance and about people, and what can happen when you nurture things to grow...
I have over 15 years experience working in the arts, with a host of previous producing and dance management roles behind me with internationally renowned dance companies and organisations.
Olive Kane Dance is my newest venture, building on my ever-growing teaching work and rolling it all up into one lovely organisation where I can focus on inspiring the next generation of dance and arts enthusiasts. At the heart of my approach is:
- Progression - building a strong technical foundation and supporting each child to reach their full potential through managable steps and goals
- Confidence - enjoyment and nurture at the heart of classes with each child treated as an individual
- Community - children (and their families) feeling part of something special and make friends for life
COMMUNITY CLASSES
It is so important to me to offer classes in Waltham Forest, the borough I was born, brought up and went to school in.
Details about my current classes at Leyton Sports Ground are below.
If you are interested in joining a class please email us and we will get back to you with booking details: info@olivekanedance.com
