Miss Avi’s love of dance began 22 years ago when she enrolled in ballet, tap and jazz classes. In middle school, she joined the Cudahy Bulldogs Pom & Dance team and, as a freshman, earned a spot on the Cudahy Varsity Pom & Dance team. Miss Allison was Miss Avi’s coach during her high school career which included bonus solo, trio and senior kickline performances. After graduation, Miss Avi coached the Junior team and that experience sparked her passion for teaching.

Miss Avi stepped away from teaching and coaching dance briefly to focus on her education and family. However, she couldn’t resist the opportunity to join the Showcase staff and welcome dance into her life again. Miss Avi is married with two children of her own.
