Ashley also works with two of Western Canada’s most innovative flamenco artists in the world dance fusion show “Three Sides of a Coin”.
ASHLEY keeps a varied and very full performance schedule, and she offers us lots of wonderful and new ways of sharing new and innovative dance moves and techniques. Along with her love of belly dance, Ashley is a rehabilitation assistant working in physical therapy, and a research assistant focusing on exercise prescription for chronic lung disease.
