Ava
Ava is born and raised in Orange County with a background in dance, specifically ballet. After graduating High School, she moved to New York City and danced with The Joffrey Ballet where she trained and performed professionally with their company for a few years. Unfortunately, her dance career came to an abrupt stop due to a foot injury that required surgery. During the healing time, she found a new passion for fitness and teaching dance and spent some time teaching to different dance studios in Orange County and became Assistant Dance Coach at Villa Park High School. When Ava was introduced to Pure Barre during this time, it was an instant love. Pure Barre helped gain her strength and confidence back from the career she had lost dancing professionally and from the surgery. She right away started teaching barre and has been with our Tustin family since the day our doors opened in 2015! Ava is our General Manager, and is certified in all class formats. Ava loves sharing her love for barre to clients, motivating others through her teaching, and helping clients through their own personal fitness journey.
