Olivia Williams

Studying one year at York University's Bachelor of Fine Arts Dance program, I have decided to continue my studies within the Education field, after realizing a devoted passion for working with children. I will be attending Queens University, in hopes to pursue my passion for education and dance by exploring both interests through classes and clubs. After intensely training in competitive dancing for seven years, and instructing dance for two years. I am passionate about developing my job skills in the dance field.

After attending All Saints Catholic Secondary Schools Arts and Media program for four years. I was able to obtain honours and achieved a scholarship devoted to my contributions to the school's dance department.

After receiving an on-the-spot acceptance to York University's Dance Program. I was offered the Talent Scholarship based on my audition and academic performance.

This past year, I had the privilege of performing in three shows. The work I was involved in challenged and helped motivate me to use these experiences, so I can build upon my dance and choreographic skills.

Working with children in a dance environment dance has always been a positive and fulfilling aspect of my life. I am eager to learn new teaching techniques, while also immersing my students in prior knowledge I have learnt from experience. I am a hard-working, adaptable, and organized individual who will strive to motivate, push, and create a safe space for any student. My goal is to instill confidence in my classroom and hopefully have my students walking away feeling confident that they can achieve anything they set their mind to.
