Instructor
Ashley McCullough has over 30 years of dance experience, specializing in tap and contemporary dance. She has extensive training in ballet, jazz, lyrical, and modern, while also dipping her toes into musical theatre, acrobatics, hip hop, folk dance, and ballroom, plus she is a Registered Yoga Teacher. In 2011, Ashley earned her Bachelor of Arts in Dance at Brigham Young University. While at BYU she toured with International Folk Dance Ensemble, as well as performed and choreographed for the student based modern dance company. In college, she had the opportunity to perform with the Martha Graham Dance Company. Post-college, she has performed and choreographed professionally in Baton Rouge, Philadelphia, Chicago, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington D.C. She has taught as a competition team instructor at several studios, winning various special judges awards and invitations to be part of dance battles at National competitions.
In 2019, Ashley co-founded Ash & Elm Dance Co., a non-profit professional dance company, which she continues to co-direct, choreograph, and perform with regularly. She also loves tap dance history and continues to grow in tap knowledge and skills by studying the history, taking online courses, and attending tap festivals. When she’s not dancing, she’s spending her time with her family, homeschooling her school age daughters and chasing around her baby boy. She’s grateful to have the opportunity to be a “stay at home mom” while also being a “working mom” by doing what she loves!
