Okay...maybe not DESPERATELY seeking. But seeking, nontheless! Aesha Ash was Zoe Saldana's dance double in the movie "Center Stage". I googled her name and couldn't find anything recent. She used to be with Alonzo King's LINES ballet company in San Francisco in 2005...so I went to the company's website but she's not listed as one of the dancers.
I found her blog but the last post was dated February of 2009 and nowhere does it say where she's dancing. What in the????
Haha. I know I sound a little stalkerish but I just want to find out where I can find her performing. I keep reading a lot of articles on how she's one of the first African-American prima ballerinas in one of the country's most famous ballet companies....and the thought never occurred to me until I read that. I know San Francisco Ballet has people of all races and backgrounds...I believe one of their soloists is an African-American male.... Anthony Spaulding.
I don't know how this post ended up being race but....anyway! Bottom line! Does anybody know what happened to Aesha?
Here she is dancing in "Center Stage". The video is kind of crappy but it's the only one I found on Youtube. The close-ups are Zoe Saldana but all the fancy "en pointe" dancing is all Aesha!
I found this video as well! Aesha's performance with LINES ballet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X04hkBvNoGw
She's just beautiful! =)
