We interviewed two of the four Co-Founders of Brown Ballerinas For Change: Shania Gordon & Ava Holloway!

Shania Gordon has been performing with Central Virginia Dance Academy since 2016. She desires to become a professional dancer with NYC Ballet; without any set limitations to achieving her goal. Shania wishes to inspire those that see her, encouraging them to “not be afraid of who you really are and to work hard to be the best version of yourself”.

Ava Holloway has performed with Central Virginia Dance Academy since 2009 and is a member of Joni at St. Catherine’s School, where she served as Co-Captain and was awarded the Creative Crystal Dance Award. She enjoys hanging out with friends and making crazy dances and recently co-authored a book, My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams.

In this episode, Shania and Ava talks about their goals and visions for BBFC, their reactions for being viral (being painted in a mural and being on the news?), and what they think will never get out of fashion.
