Turn Up With Ashley

Hey there! 👋🏼 My name is Ashley, and I have Nager Syndrome, an extremely rare craniofacial condition that affects the face, arms and hands. I’m a passionate advocate for disability rights, dance, and fitness. At 36 years old, I live in Phoenix, AZ 🌵 with my amazing partner, Matt, and our beloved dog, Harper 🐾. My background is in the medical field, and I hold an associate’s degree in Human Health Studies while currently working on getting my certification in Medical Billing and Coding. I’m all about spreading positivity and inclusivity in everything I do. ✨

My dance journey is a bit unconventional—it started when my BAHA 5 broke and I spent two years without hearing. During that time, dancing became a new way of expressing myself, and it completely transformed my life. I found Carleen via TikTok 🎶, and she played a huge role in helping me with my journey into DivaDance. Shortly after, I took my first Turn Up Dance Fitness class with Rick in 2023, and I’ve been so hooked that I decided to become a Turn Up Dance Fitness instructor myself! 💃🏽

Throughout my journey, I’ve been fortunate to be featured on TV 📺, in newspapers 📰 alongside Cher, and in numerous YouTube and Instagram interviews 🎤 where I’ve had the opportunity to share my story and advocacy work. Dance and fitness have become my passions, and I wholeheartedly believe in the power of movement and self-expression to uplift, empower, and create a more inclusive world 🌍 where everyone feels they belong. 🥳👏🏼

Thankful beyond words for the incredible energy and vibes at my first Turn Up Dance Fitness class! 🎉💃🏽 The room was filled with so much passion, laughter, and determination – a true testament to the amazing community we’re building together. 🤗 Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you who showed up and showed out! Your enthusiasm and commitment lit up the dance floor, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your love and support. 🙏🏼 Here’s to many more sweat sessions, joyful moments, and building a fitness family that dances through life together! 🌟

📍: Studio Z

I found out on December 30th that I’m now officially a Turn Up Dance Fitness instructor!!! Ahhhh!!! I am sooooooo freaking excited to be apart of such an AMAZING community! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😁

I went into Turn Up instructor training really nervous, because I was worried if I was going to be able to execute what needed to be done physically, and how others may react to me since you don’t see many adults with physical disabilities doing a dance fitness format like Turn Up. I finished the training on a HIGH; really happy and proud of myself for doing it no matter how much I wanted to call it quits and trust me, there were plenty of those times. When we had our performance call on Zoom, I got so much support from the girls in my group (with one of them shouting me out), and my Master Trainer, Aubrey. I was crying happy tears! The call itself was just so empowering and energetic! Turn Up Dance Fitness is more than just a MOVEment, it’s where we come together to celebrate each other through life, to EVOLVE UNAPOLOGETICALLY, LIVE LOUDLY, and DANCE RUTHLESSLY! 👑🩷💃🏽

Welcome to Turn Up With Ashley! This is a Turn Up Dance Fitness community page where I will share all upcoming classes, class pictures, class videos, special events, post BAND livestreams for those who do not use the app, and share our WINS so we can continue to HYPE each other up outside of class! 👑🩷💪🏼💃🏽
