ASHLEY BASZTO (USA)
Orlando Ballet’s Ashley Baszto says emotionally impacting an audience through dance – especially when they need it most — is “priceless.”
Ashley started ballet at age three with the Sarasota Ballet Academy, a journey filled with classes, summer intensive programs, and huge support from her family. She also trained at the Rock School for Dance Education and the Miami City Ballet School. In 2010, Ashley was a finalist in Youth American Grand Prix New York and Jackson International Ballet Competition. She later placed second for her Pas de Deux at American Dance Competition and performed at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival Ballet Dance competition.
She is American Ballet Theatre ® certified to teach ballet to students from age two to adult at Orlando Ballet School. Now in her tenth season with Orlando Ballet, Ashley cherishes the opportunities to perform in a variety of challenging productions and working with the organization’s artistic team that includes dancers from around the world.
This is Ashley’s tenth season with Orlando Ballet.
