Avis is a frequent partner of Darcey Bussell. In her final performance, which was broadcast live, Avis danced with Bussell and Carlos Acosta in "Song of the Earth". Avis later danced in Bussell and Katherine Jenkins's tour, "Viva la Diva" and on "Strictly Come Dancing", where Bussell was a judge. In 2012, Avis performed at the London Olympics closing ceremony, in a sequence titled 'Spirit of the Flame', choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and composed by David Arnold. Bussell flew to the stage on a flaming phoenix and when landing was met by Avis, Jonathan Cope, Edward Watson, Nehemiah Kish and over 200 ballet dancers, after which the Olympic Flame was extinguished.
