Ash, the Tank / 15 April 1991 / Lawndale, CA

Fall 2009

Dance Credits:
“Culture Shock LA, FutureShock LA, Offspring, The Ones, and Beatniks”

Dance Idols:
“Dancing for FSLA and Offspring, I have always looked up to my CSLA and Breed Fams! -especially all the PAC Modern alumni on CSLA and Breed, they’ve definitely been my biggest influences. ”

Why do you dance?
“I dance not only because I LOOOVE the rush I get on stage, but because I’m sharing something with the rest of the world that God has blessed me and this whole team with. I dance because I want to give back to the community. I dance because when I taught a dance class for kids with special needs, and I saw a girl in a wheelchair bobbing her head and moving her arms to the beat, that made everything worth it. ”

4 Randoms
“1. For the LOONGEST time, I wanted to be a fashion designer and start up my own company.
2. My dad is Filipino, and my mom is White…but sometimes I look like I’m Hispanic. (:
3. I have no sense of direction, haha. Last year, I got lost and ended up in Compton with my best friend, Krystle Bueno, driving home from a Christmas party. (I got a GPS for Christmas this year, YAY)
4. I used to play volleyball; my dad was hoping I’d get as tall as my aunt (like over 5’11), and that’d I’d be playing on a college team. Looks like I’m dancing instead (: ”

Most memorable moment while on PAC Modern:
“Definitely a tie between Retreat& Alumni Mixer. (: –Oh, and can’t forget the first time I partied with my newbie class and the rest of modern at Eddie’s 80s party!”
