The Springfield Ballet Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Ashley Paige Williams as School Director/Choreographer of the Springfield Ballet. She will officially assume the post of School Director beginning at the start of the new fiscal year, July 1, 2008.

After an extensive national search, we are excited to have selected Ashley Paige to lead the ballet into a new era of growth and opportunity. In addition to serving as our Interim School Director since September 2007, Ashley Paige brings several years of teaching and choreographic experience, a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Ballet Pedagogy from the University of Oklahoma, and a background in performing professionally with the Northern Ballet Theatre. We are fortunate to have someone of her caliber to direct our school, productions and outreach programs.

Please join us in congratulating Ashley Paige and thanking her for all of her hard work and dedication she has shown to the ballet this past year.
