Ashley Votava/Hip Hop, Contemporary & Jazz

I put on my first pair of tap and ballet shoes when I was 2 and a half, even back then I could hardly wait for the next ‘show’ to be able to get on stage in my costume and perform for the audience. I loved it! Over the years I have taken classes at studios all over California. I became more serious about my dance through my high school years. I was on a competition team with an award winning Performing Arts Academy in California. It was then that I began assisting in classes. Our competition team mostly danced in Northern and Southern California. We returned from Chicago with Platinum’s, High Overall Scores and Best Entertainment Award. I moved to Arizona in the summer of  ’08 as my college career began at Northern Arizona University. I have been with The Dance Studio since then; dancing, competing, teaching, choreographing and enjoying every minute of it. Although life may take me down another path, dance will always be a part of it.
