5 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM HANGING WITH AVA MICHELLE!

1 She’s a hugger! As soon as Ava got to our NYC office, she made sure to give everyone on the staff a hug hello.

2 She had her first on-screen kiss filming Tall Girl! “I was so nervous about it,” she confesses. “My mom was even on set watching and I was just really mortified.”

3 Dancing gives her confidence! The former Dance Moms star says that dance makes her, her. “I feel so pretty and strong when I’m dancing. It’s such a big part of who I am,” she smiles.

4 She’s a perfectionist! Ava tries to do her best at everything and be her best self. “I’ve always been this way,” she tells J-14.

5 She loves wearing heels! “I used to shy away from wearing heels, but now I love them,” Ava opens up.
