Ashley is the best!! She really breaks down the steps so it's super easy to learn. Plus, she's a great person. I've been taking West Coast Swing lessons weekly for over a year with Ashley. I highly recommend her for any dance style you'd like to learn.

Details: 46-65 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Ballroom • Intermediate • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • Once a week • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Ashley has been a stellar guide to take me through both the basics and nuances of West Coast Swing, with astute observations and thoughtful corrections. She remains positive and encouraging throughout. After a private lesson with her, I have the courage to get out there on the dance floor. Very enjoyable and helpful beyond what can be taught in a group class. I know I'll be returning for more!

My fiance and I both love dance and it is truly a part of our essence. We first met Ashley by attending her group class for West Cost Swing. She runs a wonderful class and would recommend it to anyone. My fiance and I decided to hire Ashley because we loved working with her through her group class, we decided to ask if she would work with us in private lessons to choreograph a dance for us for our wedding. I can't express this enough, what an amazing teacher Ashley is. Not only do you get an amazing teacher but her professionalism is impeccable. She is a lot of fun to work with and she truly knows her stuff. She helped us put together a fun dance in such a short timeframe. Ashley really made miracles happen. Then again, she is that good. If you are looking for a group lesson instructor or want something more personal/one on one, I highly recommend working with Ashley.

I’ve taken a few classes with Ashley and she truly has the gift of teaching. She is patient and clear on her instruction. The way she describes moves creates a visual in my head that helps me with remembering and practicing steps. She is a beautiful dancer and her presence exudes elegance. I’m so lucky to have found her

I took Ashley’s salsa class and she was an excellent teacher that made it extremely easy for a beginner like me. Even in a group setting there is individual attention to all involved and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for both a fun and rewarding experience!
