ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | FIRST SOLOIST
Olivia Betteridge
HAMBURG BALLET, GERMANY | TPA ALUMNA
We are proud to celebrate TPA alumna Olivia Betteridge, now a First Soloist with the Hamburg Ballet in Germany.
Olivia trained with us at Tanya Pearson Academy, including our Full-Time Program, and in 2015 she was a Prix de Lausanne semi-finalist. She then completed her training at the School of the Hamburg Ballet.
Olivia joined the Hamburg Ballet in 2017 and was promoted to Soloist in 2023 and is now a First Soloist. Her roles include Marie in The Nutcracker, Olympia in Lady of the Camellias, Princess Claire in Illusions, like Swan Lake and the title role in La Sylphide, along with leading roles in works by Balanchine and Forsythe. She has also performed at the Salzburg Festival.
“Perhaps the biggest attribute of TPA is the sheer number of contacts, networks and connections. This gave me the steppingstone I needed to help find my place in the dance world.”OLIVIA BETTERIDGE
Olivia, the whole TPA family is so proud of you, and we love following your journey on stage.
