Ashley Baggaley

Ashley has been training in dance since she was three years old, and hasn’t stopped since.  After high school she moved to Vancouver where she trained at Harbour Dance Centre and danced with the Source Dance Company for two years.  From there, Ashley moved to Cozumel, Mexico where she worked as a choreographer and dancer at the Wyndham Cozumel Resort and Spa.  After three years submerged in Mexican culture, mastering the language and Latin dance rhythms, she decided to trade in her tacos and quesadillas for the open seas.  She then worked for Carnival Cruise Lines as a dancer and featured performer, giving her the opportunity to perform and train all over the coast of North America, including extensive training at Broadway Dance Center in New York City.   After a total of six years abroad, Ashley has decided to settle down and exchange her sea legs for solid ground.  She is currently enrolled in the Certificate for Ballet Teaching Studies program with the Royal Academy of Dance.

Ashley’s unique combination of professional dance experience and her immersion in Latin culture, made becoming a Zumba instructor a natural progression.   The minute Ashley found out that there was a cardio fitness program that was based on Latin rhythms - she was hooked!   She quickly became a certified Zumba and Group Fitness Instructor, and continually attends additional trainings and workshop to broaden her repertoire.
