Ashlee Menke (Acro)
Ashlee grew up dancing and tumbling from the age of 3. Once, as a freshman in college, she was invited to train and apprentice with the UniverSoul Circus. Sadly, her family stopped her that summer from running away and joining the circus. She also began teaching tumbling and acrobatics at the young age of 14. As a high school student she taught classes at Slidell Gymnastics Club. Throughout her high school and college years, she taught summer tumbling camps every year in Louisville, KY at Accents on Dance & Tumbling. After college, she continued her love of teaching and ran the Cheernastics after-school tumbling program for B.R.E.C. (Baton Rouge Recreation & Parks). Ashlee has participated in the United States Trampoline & Tumbling Association (U.S.T.A.) safety certification courses. She also attended coaching clinics at the prestigious Camp Woodward for gymnastics & tumbling in Woodward, PA. She is a Southeastern Louisiana University alum and currently works for Landmark Health as the regional supervisor of outreach & engagement for the Louisiana & Mississippi Gulf Coast.
