BRIANNA ASHLEY

Brianna Ashley began dancing at the age of 10 after being a former gymnast. She began in contemporary and has found her strengths in ballet, contemporary and tap. She gained her love of dance through her biggest inspiration and teacher, Tia Costa. Also, being a model, she has been able to combine her two passions by working for companies such as IVIVVA, Danzia, Enchanted Dancewear, and Monster Electronics. She was also a featured dancer in a commercial for Contemporary Dance Conservatory in 2014. She has been a competing soloist for 4 years where she found her love of performing. In 2017, Brianna signed with JE Model Management, which opened many doors in both the modeling and dance industries. In 2018, she was invited to perform solo “jealous” at the Sacramento Teen Center Charity Gala. This past summer, she trained at the Joffrey Ballet School. Brianna is currently attending Sacramento State University double majoring in Psychology and Dance, in pursuit to be both an elementary school teacher and choreographer. She is beyond excited to learn and grow this season from Artistic Director Jacob Montoya Gutierrez, who keeps her inspired to be the best dancer she could possible be.
