Ava Merolla

Deputy Head Student

 "I am Ava, I’m 15 years old and I have been dancing at Allied for over 12 years. I am very happy to take on the role of Deputy Head Student in Allied as it has been such a big part of my life so far. I like how dance is an art form that has many different styles, meaning it can suit anybody no matter your interests. My favourite styles are ballet and contemporary as I love the freedom of movement and the expressive technique. Allied has been amazing, inspiring and engaging for me and other students, they have taught me commitment, confidence and trust. Being at Allied has also given me an amazing group of life-long friends. It’s not only a hobby, but part of my life. I’m excited to take on the opportunities and responsibilities that come with being part of the head team at Allied."
