Teacher Ava
Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
A Midsummer Nights Dream because I love the Shakespeare play!
Favorite Ballet Step
I absolutely LOVE teaching a Pas De Chat!
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
My go-to animal during animal dancing is a bumble bee! I like picking this animal because I love to incorporate bourrees and play with different tempos.
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
Tutu School is special to me because the positivity and creativity in our curriculum has helped me get in touch with my inner child, and it is very healing :) I also love how welcoming Tutu School is, and I truly believe every child should know the joy of dancing!
