Q&A
What’s Your Favourite Movie?
Any of the classic ’50′s musicals – High Society, Singin’ in the Rain….
What keeps you dancing?
Martha Graham expressed it best in a letter to Agnes DeMille:
“No artist is pleased.
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction;
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
and makes us more alive than the others.”
One great moment in your life :
Becoming a Mum
What is your favorite word?
Melliflous
What would your perfect day consist of?
Sleeping in, Starbucks, sunshine, a little solitude, a lot of laughter, a great meal, good friends. An adventure, a surprise, a challenge. Cupcakes. An amazing technique class, an inspiring rehearsal, a moment on stage, or a slow dance in my kitchen… as long as I’m dancing!
Ashley will be performing a sizzling hot tango and modern dance fusion with Daniel at The Bazaar Latin Fever! Tuesday, February 23rd

Daniel Grys
Daniel started dancing at the age of five when he was first introduced to Polish folklore dance through the Lechowia Polish-Canadian Folk Dance Company. He was then introduced to Latin ballroom dance within the Company and has continued it passionately ever since. Daniel has traveled to Europe, South America, Mexico, Canada and several U.S. states for dance festivals and competitions.
Daniel is currently a dance major at York University studying mainly Ballet and Modern. As part of his program, he has taken and continues to practice conditioning for body strength, improvisation, and performance classes.
His goal is to eventually perform on stage, whether it be dance, theater or musicals.
Q&A

Pasta. Especially when I get to create my own sauces from scratch!
Why did you start dancing?

Who is your biggest inspiration?
People who support me
What is your favorite word (Phrase!)?
Can you imagine?
