Tap Teacher
Born in Devon, Avalon trained at her mother's dancing school until the age of 18 when she was awarded a full-time scholarship to train as an all-round dancer at Bird College.
Since graduating in 2009 Avalon has completed two internships for the American Tap Dance Foundation in NYC, was a company member of Grant Swift's TeAyPe in Melbourne, Australia, and has danced with leading Tap dance companies across the UK.
Avalon was invited to accept one of the 25 places reserved for outstanding dancers in the 2014 Tap programme at the school at Jacob’s Pillow in Massachusetts, USA. Avalon performed in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics as a tap dancing dementor, was invited to join Tapestry Dance Company, North America’s only full time and paid Tap dance company and recently created her own company "Old Kent Road", which will debuted their first work 'Fall out' at Resolution! 2015.
Avalon regularly teaches for international Tap Dance festivals and workshops including the Stockholm Tap Festival, Prague City Tap Festival, The Australian Tap Festival, Escola Luthier Dansa and MadTap- Madrid.
Avalon finds confidence buildng very important so she works with improvisation tools that'll help you jam.
We jam for fun at the end of class. Come for a good work out and A LOT of fun!
