Ava May Llewellyn
Born: Bristol
Trained: The Royal Ballet School
Joined: 2023
Other companies: The Royal Ballet as a student and as an Aud Jebsen Young Dancer (2021 to 2023) and The Nutcracker with Birmingham Royal Ballet in 2019.
Awards: The David Norman Award for leadership, The Royal Ballet School 2021.
Dream role: My dream role would be Kitri in Don Quixote. As well as being a physically demanding role, Kitri is such a feisty, strong and determined character with so much personality.
Career if not a dancer I also love singing and acting so I probably would have become a Musical Theatre performer.
Proudest off-stage achievement I was privileged to be Head Girl at the Royal Ballet School, White Lodge.
Interesting fact: I became a black belt at Tae Kwon Do at age 10.
