About Ashley Katz
Ashley Katz is a dance teacher in Portland, Oregon, coaching kids, teenagers, adults and seniors.
I have over six years of experience across all grade levels, including physical education. I also did a partial internship in physical education. My teaching style is energetic, patient, and interactive, emphasizing creativity and self-expression. My first dance class would include introductions, a dynamic warm-up, basic rhythm and movement exercises, simple choreography, and find out: What's their favorite music? What dance moves would they like to learn?

Her lesson was a lot of fun! She cracked jokes to make me more comfortable before she taught me how to swing my hips.
Tammy
Dance enthusiast
Such a fun and positive experience. Ashley was enthusiastic and super patient with me. She made learning feel natural rather than intimidating. I especially loved how she encouraged finding my own style instead of only memorizing steps. She was so nice, her classes are a great way to improve your confidence!
Judes
Ashley's flow is seriously mesmerizing! The way she moves with the music is so smooth and effortless. She's got a style all her own, and it's awesome learning from her!
Jennifer
I had such a great time learning to dance. What I appreciated most was how everything was explained step by step without making me feel rushed. We worked on keeping up with the beat, improving my footwork, and putting different moves together. I was surprised by how much I picked up in just one lesson! The whole experience was relaxed, encouraging, and a lot more fun than I expected.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking with Ashley.
Where do lessons take place?
We can do a zoom meeting, meet at lifetime (if you have a membership), or I can come over to your place. Whatever you feel most comfortable with.
What should I bring to my first lesson?
Just yourself 😊
Can I start as a complete beginner?
Yes. I teach beginning and intermediate dance, so no experience is necessary!
What ages do you teach?
All ages. Dancing is for everyone, no matter your age.
What happens during the first lesson?
Introductions: I'll ask you what kind of music you like, if there's any moves/dances you want to learn. Warm-up: Dynamic stretching, balance work, callisthenics training Basic dance movements: Foundational steps, weight shifting, footwork and body coordination. Movement combinations: We'll combine a sequence of steps into a short, flowing dance routine, focusing on smooth transitions, coordination and moving in rhythm with the music. Creative expression: Exactly how it sounds, spending a few minutes either elaborating on the moves we just practiced, or creating your own moves. Cool-down.
