Ava began dancing at the age of two, training across Bucks County and supplementing with intensives and master classes at Philadelphia Ballet, New York City Ballet, The Ailey School, and Drexel. She is trained in ballet, modern, jazz, tap, and contemporary and adores teaching and choreographing for all ages.

She also had the opportunity to perform Mr. Ailey’s “Memoria” with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater during their City Center seasons in her Junior and Senior years.
