Ashtyn Graham is originally from Texas and currently lives in Northern Virginia. She attended Grambling State University, where she studied Public Relations with a minor in Dance.

Ashtyn has over seven years of teaching experience, working with dancers ages 3–18 across a variety of styles and levels. She has taught competition team dancers from minis through teens, high school dance teams, and has experience creating custom choreography. As a former dance team officer, she also choreographed routines, cleaned performances, and taught daily technique classes.

Her performance background began at age two and includes appearances in numerous productions of The Nutcracker and original ballets. While living in Nebraska, she danced with a professional company's Junior Ballet, performing ballet adaptations of theatrical works such as A Midsummer Night's Dream.

This year, Ashtyn will be teaching at the McLean location. She wants her classroom to be a place where every student feels comfortable being their authentic self, emphasizing an inclusive environment where dancers are heard, valued, and encouraged to grow. Her advice to students is to "soak it all in" and be fully present in every class, believing that dancers get out of their training what they put into it.
