Raising funds for Ashley's American Ballet dream.

Christchurch, Canterbury

In 2019, Ashley was named the youngest-ever national training scholar of the American Ballet Theatre. She was the winner in both junior and senior divisions at the South Island Ballet Awards, made the top five of New Zealand's Top Dancer, and has shone on international stages, making finals in competitions like AHA and YAGP.

Ashley aspires to enrol in the American Ballet Theatre's full-time training in New York. If accepted, she'll follow in the footsteps of her older sister, Sonia, marking the second female dancer from New Zealand to be accepted into this program.

Every contribution helps Ashley get closer to her dream of dancing for one of the world's leading dance companies.
