Jason Hall Herrington was born and raised in Tampa, FL. Jason found his love of dance through the artistic world of pageantry and competitive colorguard. After years of training, touring, and competing with DCI and WGI, Jason decided arts education and choreography was the path he’d take. Jason became the director of dance at The Tarpon Springs HS/MS Leadership Conservatory for the Arts, in which he choreographed and lead his students to 3 world championship titles. Jason continues to provide choreography to countless ensembles across the world and most recently has taken a creative role with Murray and Peter Productions. Jason leads the creative side of touring productions including the stars of Rupaul’s Drag Race, providing choreography and performing as lead dancer. Jason is so excited to be part of the faculty at Dance Den and looks forward to seeing dance grow here in the Tampa Bay Area. 

Ashley is originally from North Carolina, but has lived in St. Pete for the last 5 years. Before arriving in Florida she attended East Carolina University where she received her BFA in dance performance with a concentration in jazz. After college she headed to Los Angeles where she continued to train and perform in live stage shows and music videos such as Katja Glieson’s “Look At Us” and Chris “Boogy” Marcos’ “Pick Up Lines.”

 

Over the years, Ashley has found her true passion is teaching.
