Meet Olivia!

 

Assistant Director

 

 

 

"Olivia Fullmer, has played a key role in making this dream come true. With her sponsorship of Herbalife, equally with United We Dance Funding, she has helped make each show a reality. Olivia is one of the most kind, fun-loving people that I know and we are so blessed to have her. Her ballet training is impeccable and our dancers our lucky to have her as a dance mentor as well as a nutrition inspiration."

What has been the greatest learning experience being on Underground?

 

"Opening up my mind more and being adaptable. I've had the privilege to know and work with people from so many different disciplines, cultures, and personalities and it has expanded my knowledge and my heart."

 

What has been your favorite part about this season?

 

"The people on Underground. Every single one of them throughout this whole season I absolutely love. The growth and energies is unique with each individual and my favorite thing is that I get to see it and be a part of it and it inspires me."

 

What is your message to the dance community?

 

"Acknowledge every dancer in our community no matter what style and what experience. If you take the time to expand your acknowledgments, it will not only influence yourself but imagine what kind of influence and inspiration you'd give that dancer. Live, Laugh, Dance, and Love!"

There are more interviews with the fabulous choreographers' of "Off the Wall"

 

Meet Diego! 

 

2nd Season member and Choreographer

 

 

 

"Diego, has been an inspiration to me. He can take one of my moves and turn it into gold! His creativity keeps me on my toes and reminds me that I need to continue to have new and fresh ideas. If you know him or have ever sat with him, he comes off quiet and observant. Which is exactly what contributes to his ability to be so creative. He is literally, sitting back, taking in his environment. Diego is a young dancer and has a great future ahead of him."

What has been your greatest lesson in life, thus far?

 

"That's a tough question! Life has a funny way of revealing which path is the right path to take. In the few years I've been able to experience life as an adult, I've learned that it's up to you as an individual to decide where you go on your journey to find yourself. The greatest life lesson I've had thus far is that no matter what, people will always try and tell you what you shouldn't and can't do. To some, it becomes discouraging and can lead you away from your path and your goals. For me, I've learned to use it as motivation to prove that I can in fact do what I choose and go whatever direction in life I want.. Because at the end of the day, it's your life and your journey; So make it something you want, not what someone else wants. Take that negative energy and make it into something positive and beautiful."

 

You are known for your edgy choreography, what keeps you so innovative?

 

"I seriously would love to know why my brain works the way it does! I get a little freaked out when I see some of the pieces and some of the choreography I've created over the years. It's hard to believe all that came from me. I get inspired and innovated from the reactions and feedback I hear from friends, family, and other dancers/choreographers. Also, thinking outside of the box is something I find to be incredibly challenging and I use that to start up my creativity. Having that mindset along with the feedback I receive has always been a big part of why I stay so fresh, quirky and on top of my A game."

 

What has been the biggest challenge as a male dancer in a society that sometimes judges men who do ballet, contemporary etc.

 

"I think one of the biggest challenge men face as dancers is the fear of being judged. I've had my fair share of people who have laughed at me or told me that dancing wasn't something a guy should do. It's hard, and can seriously take a blow on your self

-esteem. One thing I find to be helpful is to stay focused on your goals and the things you truly wish to achieve as well as surrounding yourself with a support group who respects you for who you are."
