Ava Pasquantonio
Student Member
Ava Pasquantonio was born in Virginia, raised in Colorado, and moved to Connecticut as a 5-year-old. She found this background to be the origin of her interest in movement, as dancing had completely sparked when joining the Dance Slipper, a small-town studio, at this age. Not even a day into the recreational classes was she moved to the competition team, where she met some of her closest friends and supporters. Ever since receiving a solo at 10, Ava has placed in the overalls a multitude of times and continued to expand her knowledge of the arts from her older mentors. Ava is honored to be one of the youngest members of Garet&Co, and consequently gained insight from her fellow members about the quality of dance. Ava has performed with Garet&Co in “and sometimes i wish” at Emerging Artist Theatre and in “Big God” at Young Choreographers Festival.
