Ahsha has been training and performing for 7 years, most recently with Ajna Dance Company, and was selected to perform at a gala event. Her teachers for years have placed her front and center in the group given that she is a strong performer, is able to lead and collaborates well with her fellow dancers. During the pandemic, she is kept up her practice by doing lessons over Zoom. Click below to see some of her performances.

Ahsha's band worked with their coach to write original songs. The Hopeful Song (link here), written by them in 2020 while meeting remotely, reflects what many of us are feeling during the pandemic crisis.
Ahsha learned about songwriting technique, working remotely with her teacher Sarah Murphy. She wrote a funny song about our cats, Bubu and Numnum (link here). We often find ourselves singing this song at home!
Ahsha often has bursts of creativity at home.
