Hi to all and welcome!

My name is Antavius Ellison, and I am professional working artist and full-time K-8th grade dance. I am a Georgia State University graduate and hold a Certificate of Study in Dance at The Academy at Edge based in Los Angeles, CA. I'm currently obtaining a Certified Personal Trainer certification as well as a Youth Exercise Specialist certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. 

My professional experience includes stage and live performance, television and film, commericals, music videos, and regional theatre productions. My experience expands to assistant choreographer for independent and mainstream music artists.

I approach my classes with an developmental perspective involving mind, body and authentic connection. It's important that students are involved in a space that promotes self-confidence and authenticity while strengthening mental and physical abilities. My teaching focuses on self-discovery and self-empowerment within an all-inclusive safe space for students to openly express themselves through movement, storytelling, and an array of other creative mediums. 

Fun Facts about Me: 
- I was born and raised in a small town of approximately 6,000 people (Now I live in Los Angeles, WOW!) 
- I enjoy spending my time rollerblading at the beach. 
- I love all things Hamilton! 
- I love being out in nature, nothing makes me more happy than having my toes in fresh green grass! 
- Marvel fan!
- I love plants!
- BIG KID at heart, as most of my students are very much aware! 
- Avatar The Last Airbender is my ALL-TIME favorite cartoon (Secretly, I'm Avatar Aang deep down in my heart!) 
- And lastly, nothing fulfills me more than pouring all of my knowledge and experience into the future generations!
