STEPH ASHBY

Steph has always loved dancing, learning ballet, jazz, and tap as a child. She found her way back to dance through a swing dancing class in 2015 and hasn’t stopped dancing since!

Steph has been a part of numerous performance troupes, both as teacher and performer, and she co-manages social dancing events that focus on welcoming new dancers. She travels nationally and internationally to learn from the brightest stars in the jazz dancing world.

As a teacher, she is always eager to share her love of swing dancing, bringing a fun and positive energy to all her classes. She is passionate about the joy and creativity that swing dancing brings, and loves seeing her students learn to be playful with the music and each other. She is passionate about the culture and history of these dances, and is continuing to learn more, embedding this in her dancing and teaching.

Steph teaches lindy hop.
