One year ago, Olivia came to me and told me she had one goal for the year ahead.
It wasn’t something we spoke about openly—only in quiet moments, just the two of us 🤍
Countless hours of training at
@limadanceacademy /
@limadancecompany in Marbella and with
@rubendesacompany in A Guarda over the past 10 months have truly paid off.
Yesterday, Olivia achieved her goal—she was nominated for Dancer of the Globe 2026 at Global Dance Open Spain Qualifier ✨
Four solos have been performed. All scoring 90+ points.
After every dance, a hug and a whisper:
“One down… now on to the next.”
Tomorrow, we finish the
@gdo_spain with the final solo before heading home to Marbella to prepare for the international final in July
@globaldanceopen
Olivia… there are no words for how proud I am of you.
This year has not been easy, but you have shown strength, focus, and dedication far beyond your years.
Your work ethic at such a young age… just wow 🤍
Thank you
@kaziaedgar @iamjuliajensen @ruben_desa @rafa_cascon the best teachers and mentors.
This wouldn’t have been possible without any of you ✨
