OLIVIA

Olivia Platania is a full-blooded Italian. Her Sicilian sass will work you over in class, but her Napolitano side will then show up to your house with a truck load of ravioli and some pound cake. Olivia’s been fiery and sweet since age 5 when she put on her first pair of patent-leather tap shoes. As long as she can remember, she’s been dancing - tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, musical theater, and African. She also ran cross country in high school, you know, “for fun.” After Olivia graduated with a BFA in dance studies, she took to NYC for the audition circuit, which she will admit, has had its challenges. But as we all know, there’s no growth without a little fight and now Olivia is a proud NBA Brooklynette and Rumble instructor. She’s on the rise, on the go, and always on the beat. That’s Olivia…our Italian Stallion.
