Mission Statement: I am a creative, artistic and powerful dancer, student, and assistant instructor. I love how dance feels in my body and mind and hope to share this joy with all the students I work with. My dream is to be a dancer. Refining my skills in class and learning how to engage newer students with foundational material helps me realize this goal.

Avery embodies Dance with E.N.A.'s dream success story!

Her journey began in Jazz 1 during Spring 2022, quickly expanding to Bollywood, and Tap. Recognized for her dedication and talent, Avery was hand-selected for Dance with E.N.A.'s inaugural Junior Performing Company. Her training has since grown to include Hip Hop, Musical Theater, Bhangra, and Ballet technique.

Through ENAsJPAC, Avery has performed at numerous community events, including the Marin Indian American Association Diwali Dhamaka, the Bon Air Diwali Mela, the Bon Air Halloween Bash, the Bon Air Community Fair, and various in-school cultural programs. Since Spring 2022, she has participated in all of E.N.A.'s bi-annual shows, recently starring as Alice in our 2024 production of "Alice in Wonderland" and as Colonel Mustard in our 2025 production of "Clue."

Her dedication, supportive nature, and positive attitude earned her our Session Superstar award Fall of 2023 - an award recognizing students who go above and beyond to make their peers feel valued, who make community building part of their everyday life, and who challenge themselves consistently.

Currently assisting with Hip Hop 1 classes and Summer camps, Avery continues to develop her teaching skills while sharing her passion for dance with younger students. She looks forward to expanding her educational role through E.N.A.'s programming.
