Helene Gowers commenced her dance education at the age of five under the tutelage of Madame Kira Bousloff, ex-Ballet Russe and the founder of the West Australian Ballet Company.

During her childhood, Helene was a member of the WA Junior Ballet Company, studying various dance styles including Jazz, Contemporary, and Spanish. Her instructors included Kiril Vasilkovsky, Louis Moreno, and Shelley Rae. The Junior Company performed for charitable events and holiday programs, offering students substantial performance experience in both city and suburban locations. Throughout this period, Helene danced two seasons with the West Australian Ballet Company and subsequently advanced to roles such as Ballet Mistress and Artistic Director of the Dance Theatre of WA.

Ashley began ballet at the age of three - what started as a childhood hobby has grown into a lifelong passion for movement, music, and mentoring young dancers. She began assisting in classes over a decade ago and now finds immense joy in nurturing students through creative, engaging teaching. Her goal is to develop not only strong technique but also a genuine love for ballet.

Ashley is completing her Certificate 4 in Dance Teaching and Management and was awarded a scholarship by the West Australian Classical Ballet Teachers Association in recognition of her commitment to the field.

Outside the studio, Ashley holds a Master's degree in Business Psychology and works full-time in Human Resources. She brings a deep understanding of people and communication into her teaching—and in her spare.
