Ashley began dancing at the age of 3 at The Dance Connection. She studied tap, ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, lyrical, contemporary, and Laban Movement Analysis. Ashley graduated Magna Cum Laude from Sonoma State University with degrees in Dance and Liberal Studies. While in college, Ashley had the opportunity to work with many renowned contemporary choreographers including Stacey Printz (Printz Dance Project), Kristen Daley, Scott Wells (Scott Wells and Dancers),Sheldon Smith (Smith/Wymore Disappearing Acts), Nancy Lyons, and Kathleen Hermesdorf. She then received her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with Dance Supplement from Dominican University of California and currently teaches upper elementary school. Ashley’s passion for teaching began at a young age, when she would spend hours at the studio watching and assisting her aunt as she taught all styles of dance. By the time she was in high school, Ashley was teaching her own classes and was the Assistant Coach to the younger competitive dance company, while also competing herself. Since then, she has trained many award winning dancers in Northern California and has won numerous choreography recognitions. Ashley loves being a part of the Love2Dance community, as it allows her to be a positive role model and mentor to young dancers, while also giving her the opportunity to share and bring to life her choreographic visions on stage.
