}}'''Ava Michelle Cota''' (born on April 10, 2002) is a model/actress/singer/dancer who starred in Lifetime's hit reality show ''Dance Moms'' as part of Abby Lee Dance Company's Junior Select Ensemble Team, however she was expelled from the team at the end of season 4 and joined the Candy Apples. Outside of ''Dance Moms'' she attends JC's Broadway Dance Academy, owned by her mother Jeanette in Fenton, Michigan. Ava made further appearances on during season 5 of the show as a member of the competition team at this studio. The BDA studio has since been closed in 2017 when the family moved to California.

In January 2016, Ava auditioned for ''So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation''. Her appearance was televised on the show's season premiere. She did not make it past the Academy round.

 

 

Ava and her Mom started a new clothing company called Identified Clothing on behalf of her late brother, Devon who passed away due to fentanyl. They even started a foundation in his honor and to raise awareness on fentanyl usage.
