Throughout her training, she had the opportunity to learn from renowned dance icons such as Derrick Schrader, Tiffany Maher, Emily Grady, Phil Wright, Megan Sanett, Tony Belissimo, and Koko Iwasaki.

Currently, Liv is pursuing a degree in Nursing at Pittsburg State University while continuing to share her passion for dance through teaching and choreography. She has trained in tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, contemporary, and pointe, and has danced competitively throughout her career.
