My name is Ava Hurlbert and I am a senior at West Shore Jr./Sr. High School. I began dancing in the creative kids program at Nicole Cote’s School of Dance at the young age of two and I haven't stopped since. In the fall of 2020, as a seventh grader, I joined the West Shore Purrfections, a nationally ranked dance team at West Shore Jr./Sr. High School in Melbourne, FL. I then went on to make the varsity team in my 8th grade year. I have also attended professional training under the Universal Dance Association at their summer camp intensives. My team and I have won many awards at these summer intensives, including a special recognition award from my coaches and an invitation dance internationally through UDA's All American Program. In the present day, I am a dance instructor at Nicole Cote School Of Dance. I am truly honored to have the opportunity to raise money for a cure.
