Leading Arizona's MED dance scene, Ava Fleming's innovative isolations and soulful music interpretations, have captivated audiences across the world. In high demand for her teaching and performing skills, Ava's unique approach to MED has lead her to international recognition and acclaim. Spending most of her time traveling to teach and perform, she is rarely seen performing in her hometown of Phoenix, AZ.
Recognized by her peers, her role models, and audience members, Ava Fleming is the only award-winning dancer to sweep all three categories, Champion, People's Choice and Miss Congeniality in the Belly Dancer of the Universe Competition (Egyptian Category, 2004).
You can see her and her dance company, Black Opal, on more than a dozen instructional and performance DVD's world wide. Ava says she continually draws inspiration from her student's fresh viewpoints, her own resolve to be true to herself by living by in her heart; and as always, from great music and teachers.
