Ava Brassard

GARDNER-SOUTH WILMINGTON SPIRITLINE (senior)

1ST TIME ON THE 8CA ALL-STATE DANCE TEAM

14 years

IDTA State!!

I’m very passionate about dance and I take pride in helping others. I would like to coach or judge one day. My team is my family; each girl is so different from one another but we get along so well. I love my team. 

To Tess Brooks, even though she is younger than me, I have learned so much from her. I really believe that our friendship became stronger this year. Thank you for all of your help.  To my coaches Ms. Holly Swisher and Mrs Crystal Aukland, this was Ms. Swisher’s first year as head coach and Mrs Aukland’s first year assisting. They made for a successful first year and I am so proud of them.  To my family, thank you for always supporting me in what I do. I love you.

Hip Hop!

Hang out with friends, fish, work

Ava has taken on a great leadership role this year with our team. She is encouraging to every dancer and pushes the team to do their very best with every performance. She has helped choreograph a lot of our dances and keeps everyone’s abilities in mind for the performances. The athletes on the team look up to her and she has been an amazing asset to have on the team this year.
