Ava Radach, an 8th-grade student in Springs’ Venture Online program, is a successful competitive dancer who trains 14 hours per week and earns straight A’s. Ava, 14, is part of the Temecula Dance Company and began dancing at age six. She trains in ballet, jazz, tap, musical theater, and her two favorites, contemporary and hip hop.
Practicing dance has given her confidence and determination to achieve goals, she said. She continued, “Dance has also taught me discipline that pours into all areas of my life.” She said the Venture Online program has been an important component of her success “because it allows me to be able to get a quality education while still being able to dance full time.”
