Olivia Martin is one of those individuals  who has been successful at making her passion her full time career.

Her love of dance began early and, importantly, was encouraged by her parents who didn’t dissuade her from pursuing dance as her occupation.

And she passes that joy on to her students of all ages and abilities- including her innovative work with those with disabilities through the nonprofit Community Access to the arts.

I hope you’ll enjoy my conversation with Olivia.
