I’m Ashten Crowley and I have loved dance from before I can remember. It is a foundational part of my relationship with the Lord as my primary form of prayer and worship. I studied Dance (and accounting) at Oral Robert’s University. 

While in college I researched the Native American culture as proof of how critical it is to have dance woven into our lives and our communities and that is why I am so passionate about sharing dance with all ages and backgrounds in Oklahoma and beyond. Post college I married my best friend and we live in my hometown on Lake Eufaula with our two cats and two dogs.
