Meet DoubleTime Twins

Today we’d like to introduce you to DoubleTime Twins.

DoubleTime Twins, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
We are Ava & Loretta – identical twins born and raised in Long Island, NY. We moved to Los Angeles about six years ago and we love it here. We came here multiple times for vacation and always had so much fun. We ran around taking dance classes, fitness classes, going to conventions and did the most.

We are fitness instructors, dancers, choreographers, performers and all-around super duper Strong Divas.

We are inspired by people that dance to the beat of their own drum and cheer others on in the process. All industries from pop culture, music, fitness to drag. We’ve had the pleasure of learning from and working with the best of the best in the Fitness industry – Richard Simmons being one of them. We used to take his class on a weekly basis when he was teaching at his studio in Beverly Hills. He is one of the people that pushed us to speak openly and confidently about our history with body image and eating disorders. To quote RuPaul, “If you can’t love yourself – how the hell are you going to love somebody else?” Funny story – while filming our RuPaul dance videos for YouTube in West Hollywood he legit started walking towards us. We spoke for a minute and took a picture together – universe much?! It was definitely a moment.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
A smooth road…whats that? Lol We’ve had ups and downs individually and together like everybody else. For us, adjusting to living here was a lot harder than we anticipated. Initially we thought – we got this – because we are strong-minded New Yorker’s and have been here before.

It took a while to adjust because there are a lot of distractions here and it can be very intimating. We are in the city that entertains the world! Being surrounded by the best of the best can either make you feel like you’re not enough or inspire you to be better. The people that use this city to motivate them to work hard and be consistent are the ones that make it. Whatever ‘make it’ means to them.

We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
Currently we’re working on taking our dance/workout videos and live performances to the next level. To Dance with us, WorkOut with us, and see Live performances please subscribe to our YouTube channel @AvaLoretta. To book us please email DoubleTimeTwins@live.com.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Nothing. It has brought us to where we are today. Of course, there are some things that we wish did differently, but thinking that way can drive you crazy. What’s most important is learning from your past, Focusing on the present and kicking ass everyday to be happy, healthy and successful.
