About Tara Olson

“A gift for teaching, a passion for choreography and a uniquely intense way of conveying it all. Tara Olson may be locally admired in her hometown of Newport Beach for creating the Newport Harbor dance team, but her work is meant to transcend. Her work is reflective of herself; strong, fierce, complex and daring.  With her faith in God at the forefront of her life, she leads with tough love and strong morals creating a no-nonsense work environment but never lacking in fun.  

She is her biggest critic.  She is disciplined, and no matter the task, she will deliver.  I have seen what she can do with adolescent teens, the passion and precision she pulls out of them, but I look forward to see what she can do with working professionals, taking her creative to greater heights and larger platforms."
