Ashton’s 2019 SAB SI training

I never thought that ballet would become such a big part of my life and my passion. 3 years ago I took my first ballet class with Kayla Gaird and first contemporary with Kaisa Thompson Hence. From then on dance and ballet would be an everyday thing , like breathing. That year I vowed to make School of American Ballet the first huge step to making on stage one day . It took three years and several try’s to be accepted with a full tuition scholarship and half housing scholarship to SAB .  

I have spent the last two summers (the best summers of my life ) at Pacific Northwest Ballet and now train year round at Next Generation Ballet in Tampa Florida. I do online school with I-university prep to be able to devote 75% of my time to ballet training . I have been lucky the last two years to be able to find a way with , God , my family/friends , and great Artistic directors to financially afford to train intensively . Unfortunately a family emergency has caused the summer to possibly not happen and on the year I am finally accepted to one of the most elite ballet summer programs in the world . I have never been big on asking for help without doing something manually . With God , I know things will workout the way he plans . If you can donate or send good vibes I’ll be so thankful! The money will be used for for the partial housing after scholarship , flight , dance wear , and activities.
