Ashley especially loves working with beginner dancers, and delights in finding the perfect explanation or metaphor to elicit an “aha!” moment in students.
Learn fun (partnered and/or non-partnered) dances like Salsa, Bachata, Latin Workout, Swing, Vintage Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Thriller and the Moonwalk, various improvisational styles, and more. Ashley leads and follows, and can teach both roles!
Take private lessons wherever you’re most at ease: in the comfort of your own home, at a local dance studio (Ashley’s private studio in Athens, Factory Street Studio in Athens, or Village Productions in Amesville), or even outdoors at a local public park.
We can emphasize whatever gives you life: explore different dance styles, develop confidence, build physical strength and stamina, hone your signature moves for 90’s night at Casa, get ridiculously good at bodyrolls — or just have fun!
Somatic Release &
Energy work
By Appointment, Dance Studio or Your Home
Sliding-Scale Hourly Rates
Learn to open up to the sensory side of life, and to your feelings more deeply. Move through generational and personal trauma, when talk therapy alone isn’t enough to help us reset.
We’ll co-create a movement or dance ritual that invites you to notice what’s happening in your body, to express and release it through movement, and to shift and clear your energy. Become flexible and sensual, yet strong and decisive, by learning to flow.
Live the benefits of an intentional somatic practice, no matter the dance styles we explore. Genres like Salsa, Swing, Blues, Afro-Fusion, or contemporary all are capable of fostering our understanding of self, and invite us to move in new empowering ways we never thought possible.
Ashley is a trained dancer, and certified Reiki practitioner and life coach. She invokes a range of energetic and movement traditions, as she works from an intuitive place to support your wellness journey.
