Olivia & Dayton Booth
Dayton and Olivia are high school sweet hearts that first met when they were 12 years old. Making a business deal concerning their golden retrievers they both raised independently as young entrepreneurs. For Dayton it was love at first sight. I mean can you blame him. They dated and then married in 2014 and welcomed their first child 10 months later in January of 2015. They drew the year 2015 to dance to and that was indeed a special year to them. They actually could have drawn to dance to year 2016 or 2017 since they had 3 little girls in 3 years.
They believe they are blessed with the most wonderful family around. They enjoy anything they can make a competition out of. They love being business owners in the wonderful town of Durant, Oklahoma. They own and operate The Booth Agency with Farmers Insurance. While Dayton heads up the insurance office, Olivia splits her time between running her home and selling real estate with Brewer Realty Group. Dayton and Olivia hope to bring their competitive, energetic and lively nature to the dance competition this year!

Also laughing loud and really hard…. Like till tears start rolling.

He has adopted and lives by Cherokee's trademark motto “Long Live Local”.

He and Stephanie have two talented and creative girls who could take over the world if they so choose to. They moved to Durant a few years ago.

They have fallen in love with the town and the wonderful people in it. They are so happy to call it home.
