In 2012 he was fortunate enough to have the title role of David Nixon’s Beauty and the Beast created for him, and for which he was awarded joint 3rd in Dance Europe’s “Top 100 Dancers 2013”. In 2022 Ashley retired as a dancer and assumed the position of rehearsal director for Northern Ballet, passing on the knowledge attained through his career to the next generation of dancers.
