MS. Avery Baby

She and her younger Brother, Ian were raised to both appreciate the beauty of the world and to also caution it. But no one really paid mind to cautioning the world when Music continuously filled their home and art fueled their family.

She studied years of Ballet, Jazz, and Tap at the Robert Ivy Ballet school of Dance in Charleston, SC.

Avery attended Coker College in Fall of 2007 and, for 2 1/2 years, double-majored in Classical Vocal Performance and Classical Theatre. On the second semester of her Junior year Avery decided to study Musical Theatre and end her Bachelor's Degree with the changed career path.
