Ernesto Olivas

Ernesto is stoked to be returning home to the Sun City Dance Classic! An El Paso native, he is currently on the road with the national tour of the Broadway musical Peter Pan.

Upon leaving El Paso, Ernesto trained at the American Musical & Dramatic Academy and completed the Dance Theatre conservatory program. After graduating in 2016, he found himself traveling around the world performing in touring productions, on cruise ships, and more. Some of his favorite credits include the international tour of the Broadway musical West Side Story, and the national tour of the Broadway musical Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville. Other credits include the regional premiere of the Broadway musical The Cher Show, dancing in New York Fashion Week, posing for the cover and spread of The Long Island Pulse Magazine, and dancing as part of the resident cast on board the Queen Mary 2 with Cunard Cruise Line.

When Ernesto is not dancing around the world he can be found teaching master classes and spreading his love for dance and gymnastics in studios around New York City and across the country. He calls Brooklyn home with his boyfriend Levi and their two cats, Chimichanga & Pierogi.
