Ashley Ivashchenko – Owner & Instructor

We are proud to introduce Ashley, our dedicated studio owner and instructor, whose passion for dance has been evident since she first stepped onto the dance floor at the age of five. With a foundation in tap and jazz, Ashley’s journey with ballroom dancing began when she took a position as front desk coordinator at a Fred Astaire Dance Studios in New York.
It was there that Ashley discovered her love for ballroom dancing. Recognizing her passion, she transitioned into teaching and has since cultivated a wealth of knowledge and expertise, accumulating over 15 years of experience within the Fred Astaire Dance Studio franchise.
Together with her husband, Alex, they competed and performed professionally in the American Rhythm style across the Northeast, showcasing their dedication and artistry on various platforms.
Now, as the proud owners of this beautiful dance studio located in the heart of Severna Park, Maryland, Ashley and Alex are committed to providing a welcoming environment where students of all ages can explore the joy of dance. Their vision is to create a space that fosters creativity and a sense of community among dancers.
