Ashley Sleeth began extensive modern and ballet training at Dreyfoos School of the Arts, a performing arts high school in West Palm Beach, FL. She then graduated from Muhlenberg College in May 2011 with a BA in dance and Spanish. She most recently (summer 2012) became a company member of the Austin-based afro-contemporary dance company, DancetheatreX, directed by Charles O. Anderson.
As an intern at The Yard, a dance organization located on Martha's Vineyard, Ashley performed and choreographed under the artistic direction of David White (former director of NYC's Dance Theater Workshop). Her favorite performance credits include: Fraulein Maria with Doug Elkins' and Friends (July 2011), Crucible by Alwin Nikolai at his Centennial Celebration hosted by Hunter College (April 2011) and Lions and Tigers and Bears, a duet featured in Nicholas Leichter Dance company’s version of The Whiz (January 2011). She has also trained with and performed for numerous choreographers including: Monica Bill Barnes, Nicholas Leichter, Charlotte Boye-Christensen, Nicole Wolcott, Karen Dearborn, Heidi Cruz-Austin, Corrie Franz Cowart, Charles O. Anderson and Kate Watson-Wallace.
Ashley has presented her own choreographic works at the ACDFA Northeastern Conference (2011) where her piece was chosen to be presented in the region’s Gala, at the ACDFA Mid-Atlantic conference (2010) and at various student concerts held at Muhlenberg College (2008-2011).
She recently made a big move to the West Coast and is excited to be dancing and seeking work in Los Angeles, California. Herdream is to own a dance organization that features her own company, teaches movement and wellness/nutrition to students, and invites other artists-in-residence to make this space their primary source of movement investigation.
