✨ FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: MS. OLIVIA KACZMARZYK ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome back Olivia Kaczmarzyk for her second season at South Shore Ballet Theatre & Wellness! 🩰

A native of Providence, RI, Olivia began her ballet training at Festival Ballet Providence, now Ballet RI, studying the Vaganova method. By age 14, she was performing with the company’s corps de ballet, and at 17, she officially joined the company. She later danced with North Atlantic Ballet, debuting principal roles including The Firebird and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. Olivia has also performed works by renowned choreographers including George Balanchine, Christopher Wheeldon, Viktor Plotnikov, and José Limón.

With nearly a decade of teaching experience, Olivia has taught students of all ages and levels in ballet technique, pointe, variations, character dance, and conditioning.

✨ Welcome to SSBT, Ms. Isabella! ✨

We are so excited to welcome Bella to the South Shore Ballet Theatre & Wellness faculty! 🩰

Bella began dancing at just 3 years old in Southern California, training in many genres before discovering her passion for classical ballet and tap. As a teenager, she pursued competitive ballet and contemporary, dedicating herself to classical technique. Her hard work earned her team multiple Technique Awards and First Overall placements at state competitions, as well as the opportunity to compete at YAGP Nationals in New York.

Bella later attended Johns Hopkins University, earning her B.A. in Behavioral Biology while pursuing a pre-med track. After stepping away from competitive dance, she quickly realized how much she missed her connection to dance. This led her to begin teaching at a studio in Baltimore, Maryland, alongside her work as a Neuropsychology Research Assistant.

Her diverse experience has also taken her to a hospital in Uganda as a medical intern and to Boston, where she worked as a Behavior Technician providing direct therapy to children on the autism spectrum.

We are thrilled to have Bella bring her passion, experience, and love of dance to South Shore Ballet Theatre & Wellness! Please join us in welcoming her to our faculty! 💕🩰
