Hi! I’m Ashley, the founder of The Studio PB.

I’ve always had a passion for movement, performance, and the arts. My background includes having the privilege of performing at the world-class level in the marching arts and spending several years teaching and mentoring students in the local marching arts community. Through those experiences, I saw firsthand how powerful movement can be—not just as a skill, but as a source of confidence, connection, and self-expression.

That passion eventually led me to fitness, where I discovered how powerful dance can be as a form of exercise, self-expression, and connection. Today, I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and an AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor, combining my backgrounds in performance and fitness to create classes that are both effective and enjoyable.

My goal is to provide a welcoming space for adults who miss dancing, have always wanted to dance, or are simply looking for a fun and supportive way to move their bodies. While many dance opportunities in the northeast Florida area are geared toward children or traditional ballroom styles, I wanted to create something different—a place where adults can explore a variety of styles, build confidence, improve their fitness, and connect with others who share similar interests.

Above all, I believe fitness and dance should be accessible, inclusive, and free of judgment. Whether you’re a former dancer who misses performing, someone looking for a fun alternative to the gym, or a complete beginner who has always wanted to dance but didn’t know where to start, this community was created with you in mind.

I’m excited to build this community with you and can’t wait to dance, move, and grow together!
