What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreAva loves being able to express herself in each performance, she can tell a complete story without speaking. She loves being able to dance alongside some of the most supportive friends and teachers. Ava loves being able to step out on stage and shine bright.
Savannah, she has inspired her for years, they danced at the same studio together & they gravitated towards each other. Savannah graduated 3 years ago but they still show up for each other and support one other in their dance careers. Savannah was an amazing dancer, she has a huge heart and pumps you up to the fullest. It’s about who shows up and is constantly in your corner and that is Savannah for Ava. Ava also enjoys Briar Nolet, she doesn’t personally know her but follows her social media.
Ava is a fighter, she works so hard and earns her opportunities. She has danced through injuries and anxiety yet she still manages to push through. Ava has won regional dance titles, runner up at Nationals. There are so many small victories in dance but it’s not about the trophies but how after every dance she tells me how she felt she did and if she thinks she achieved the goal she set for herself. The relationships I see her form and the discipline she has at a young age is incredible.
