Philosophy
Avas' philosophy is to appreciate students while they are in the classroom and to leave the space feeling inspired to
make others feel good. Her goal is to engage students not only as dancers but as active participants in their own artistic growth. She wants them to explore, question, and connect with the art form on a deeper level through both in-class activities and external resources.
