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 just finished my first class with Ashley for beginning West Coast Swing and I’m hooked! Ashley made it easy to follow along and was responsive to my questions. This made me feel more at ease. This is exactly what I had hoped for. A fun place to learn with an amazing instructor!

Ashley has been a consistently excellent teacher; I have been taking West Coast Swing lessons with her for four months now. She has an incredibly well-thought-out curriculum that builds on itself effectively as our lessons continue, and her explanations are very detailed. Her demeanor is pleasant and professional, and she is consistently communicative about scheduling. 10/10 experience!

Since I met Ashley 5 years ago, not only has she introduced me to the art of dancing, she has changed my life! I am now passionate about dancing and will continue to learn more from Ashley. She is a patient and great teacher and no matter your dancing abilities, she can meet you where you are. I had the honor of performing a bachata routine for a Holiday Showcase a couple years ago with Ashley, an achievement I never thought possible and a proud moment I will never forget. Thank you Ashley and Bailamos!

I've been working with Ashley every week for the last four months learning West Coast Swing, and the progress I've made is astonishing! There are many great dancers out there who will offer to teach you to dance, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll make you into one. Ashley is on another level; She's a natural teacher. Most importantly, she's a professional dancer (she knows all of the dance styles - from Ballroom to Latin to West Coast Swing, and everything in between!) who stresses the fundamentals of dancing, while gradually introducing you to the intricacies and nuances of the style you're learning. Learning to dance with Ashley has been such a rewarding and enjoyable experience for me. The day I look forward to the most during the week is the day I have a lesson with Ashley!
