Early life

Ashley Bouder was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. She began ballet training when she was six at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet with Marcia Dale Weary. In 1999, after attending the summer program at the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet, Ashley Bouder was invited by SAB to continue her training during the Winter Session.[1]

The Ashley Bouder Project

Ms. Bouder helms her own small company, The Ashley Bouder Project, that has mounted several innovative ballet productions in New York over the years, primarily centered on commissioning new works by women choreographers and composers, including her own. Notable recent appearances have been at the Joyce Theater in 2015.[2] And at The Symphony Space in 2017, in collaboration with The New York Jazzharmonic.[3][4] This was the first time that an entire evening of ballet in varied styles was set solely to the accompaniment of a jazz orchestra.

Style

Ashley Bouder is a fearsome technician, who is known for her athleticism. Due to her enthusiastic dance and her happiness, Bouder is one of NYCB's most popular dancers.
