Fuel Your Fire: Building Resilience and Lasting Momentum in Dance
Dance is rooted in passion, energy, and drive — but even the most dedicated dancers experience moments where their spark needs support. Fuel Your Fire helps dancers strengthen the inner tools that keep them motivated, resilient, and connected to their love of dance throughout the season.
Through guided discussion and simple interactive activities, dancers will gain confidence, clarity, and everyday strategies they can use both in and out of the studio. Participants will leave feeling energized, empowered, and ready to stay connected to what they love most about dance.

Presented by Olivia Grayce:
Olivia has been dancing for as long as she could walk and her love of dance has motivated her quest to continue to educate, empower and inspire her students, peers and collaborators across North America.
As a dancer and performer, Olivia has trained in all areas of concert and studio dance. She has received her RAD Advanced II certification, trained at advanced levels in hip-hop, tap, jazz & lyrical jazz, theatre, modern, and contemporary. She has been the recipient of multiple provincial, national and international dance, music and voice awards during her years as a competitive performer. Olivia has also had the pleasure of performing leading roles in Cats (“Munkustrap”) and Seussical (“The Cat in the Hat”). Olivia has had the opportunity to study at some of the top dance training facilities in the industry including in Los Angeles, New York City, Vancouver and Paris.
As a choreographer, Olivia has regularly been the recipient of multiple choreography awards over the past two decades. Her choreography was featured at a global conference in Stockholm, Sweden in partnership with the work of Emmy Award Nominee Stacey Tookey. Olivia has recently worked with Big Apple Productions “Cabaret” (2023 – Choreographer) “This Is Me” (2024 – Choreographer, Director, Co-Producer), and “Rocky Horror Show” (2025 – Co-Choreographer & Production Consultant).
As a dance educator, Olivia is entering her 11th year as a studio owner, with teaching experience that spans across two decades with students from ages 18 months to 65+ years. Olivia has received her CDTA, IDTS, DEEA and YPAD certifications and commits to annual continuing professional development within the dance industry.
Olivia was most recently elected as the Chair of the CDTA Hip Hop Dance Studies division with the mission of being a conduit to bridge the gap between traditional, authentic hip hop street culture and concert dance studio training methods. Her goal is to integrate the core values, history, and essence of hip hop into structured dance education. Through thoughtfully crafted workshops, choreography, and training programs, she aims to honour the roots of hip hop culture while making it accessible to dancers in studio settings. Olivia’s objective is to create a space where authenticity and technique coexist, inspiring dancers to connect deeply with the art form and its origins while advancing their skills in a professional and creative environment.
Olivia also holds a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and now works globally with performing arts professionals to strategize and optimize ways to find lasting career success in this industry with her company SOPRO Consulting. Her mission is to integrate her passion for dance, with her commitment to the study of mental wellness, motivation and the power of team dynamics, to further serve the dance industry.
