Olly is a 2014 graduate of the National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Arts (NASDA) and trained in classical ballet at the New Zealand School of Dance.

Since graduating, Olly has performed extensively in musicals, pantomimes, plays, cabarets, and drag shows. In 2018, he completed his Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) and worked as a dance and drama teacher for three years. In 2024, he began a new role at NASDA (Ara) as a dance tutor, where he is passionate about nurturing confident, versatile performers and supporting students to develop both strong technique and stage presence.

In 2025, Olly was invited to teach adult ballet classes at SBT, where his strong technical knowledge, professionalism, and ability to work with a wide range of dancers were highly valued.
