We are excited to have a well-qualified and experienced dance teacher joing our staff this fall. Ashley Brilke started tap, jazz, and ballet lessons at a very young age and as she became more interested in dancing she auditioned and made the competition team. Her team brought home blues and purples almost every time and also made the cut to go to Nationals several times. She has been in production numbers such as Chorus Line, West Side Stroy, Beauty and the Beast, CATS, and more. She also auditioned and made the dance team in college and went to California to compete with them before she decided to switch schools. She has experience in tap, modern jazz/ jazz, ballet, pointe, lyrical, and musical theatre. Ashley began her own dance school while in high school so she could teach dance because she loved dancing so much. She graduated from college and is employed full time at the USDA - Rural Development office in newton. She is very excited to get back into the dance atmosphere and we are excited that she decided to join our staff! She hopes to have enough students for a recital next spring and do some perf0romances around the area. She is enthused about having a competitive dance team if there is enough interest to start preparing this fall.
