My name is Ava. I have been Irish dancing for about eight years. In Oct. 2014, I reached one of my long term goals, which was qualifying for the World Championship competition in Ireland this year. I look at this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to potentially become a World Champion dancer!

Dance is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life and it would make me so happy to have this opportunity, so I can keep doing what I love!  I can't make this trip without a chaperone, so I'd like to contribute to covering some of my mom's travel costs too. After all, my parents make it possible for me to take classes each month.

Thank you!!!!
