Ashley is a phenomenal teacher. Her ability to break down movements, technique, and style in ways that different individuals can understand, relate, and apply is incredible. She listens and adjusts her methods according to my unique injuries and limitations and still enables me to feel encouraged by showing me the progress I've already made and by assigning "homework" that will continue to grow me and strengthen me as a dancer. Go dance with Ashley, everyone!
