"Little Asher" is an 8-year-old 2nd Grade student at Wellington Elementary. He has been dancing at Bluegrass Youth Ballet(BYB) since the age of 3 & 1/2 under the tutelage of Founder and Director Adalhi Aranda and Ballet Master Chuck Bronson. He has been in several BYB productions such as Arabella’s Journey, Art Rhapsody, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, The Nutcracker, and BYB’s flagship production of Dia de los Muertos. Besides playing piano, Asher loves playing sports, especially basketball, soccer, and baseball. He says that all the sports help with ballet. In his free time, he loves hanging out with family and friends, playing video games, and watching “the old classic movies” from the 1980’s with his family. This is his first production with UK Opera Theatre.
