Vote for Team 9: Ashley & Chayenne
Ashley Patchen
Ashley is the owner of the Alchemy of Movement dance and fitness studio in Boulder. She has always loved dance but didn't really start until her 20s. She realized that dance (and fun fitness!) was absolutely necessary but was nearly impossible to find as an adult. So, she has turned Alchemy into a playful & welcoming space for adults to move, stay healthy, and truly connect with others.
After getting her Masters in Applied Math from CU, she started her career teaching math at the high school and college level, but decided to pivot in 2018 to share her passion for dance & wellness. She has always made a point to support women—especially those in STEM. She can't wait to dance with one of her own instructors at Alchemy (another woman in math!) to support the important work of YWCA Boulder County.
The two of them are excited to share this routine they created together. It's tells the story of how they met, their relationship as women trying to make it through this (sometimes ugly) world, how they supported each other through thick and thin, and how they have come out stronger together.
Chayenne Theberge
Chayenne runs her own private tutoring practice, working with students in high school and collegiate mathematics. Additionally, Chayenne is an instructor at Alchemy of Movement in Boulder where she teaches weekly world dance fitness classes and monthly intensives on specialized choreography and technique. She is well-versed in many styles such as West African, Bollywood and Bhangra, Belly Dance, K-Pop, HipHop, Lyrical, Ballet, Jazz, and as well as a plethora of Latin Styles. This is Chayenne’s second time participating in Dancing with Boulder Stars and previously won the 2022 Judges Choice Award during her first year. She looks forward to raising money for the YWCA Boulder County’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women, which resonates deeply with her because she understands how having the support of people around you can help you to find the strength in yourself to do what you never imagined you could do.
