- About me
- Originally from Richmond, Missouri, Ashley trained with the Kansas City Ballet School, and attended summer programs at Jillana, San Francisco Ballet, School of American Ballet and Alonzo Kings LINES Pre-Professional Program. Ashley graduated from Indiana University with a BSOF in ballet/journalism. While at IU she was able to perform numerous roles including Clara and The Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, the principal role in Walpurgisnacht, and the role of The White Couple in Les Pattineurs—staged by Helen Starr. Ashley is looking forward to her first season with the Louisville Ballet.
