Small town farm girl follows her dream.

Dawn Ashley Cook was born in a small farming community in Ohio. Her interest in the arts began at an early age as she enrolled in ballet, jazz, tap, and gymnastics classes while participating in local theater productions. In high school, Dawn was inducted as a member of the National Honor Society, was featured as Who’s Who Among American High School Students, and was involved in numerous extracurricular activities from volunteer organizations to cheerleading.

 Dawn’s passion for dance earned her acceptance into Ohio University School of Dance where she graduated with honors while obtaining a BFA. Receiving numerous scholarships, Dawn appeared on the Dean’s List all four years and was now featured in Who’s Who Among American College Students. While at OU, Dawn worked with a wide variety of teachers and choreographers that helped shape the professional dancer that she is today. Dawn’s unique choreographic styles were first developed during this time, and she has toured nationally and internationally as a featured performer, soloist, and choreographer.

Upon graduation, Dawn moved to Los Angeles and has found success in film, television, and stage. You have seen Dawn on Bewitched, Desperate Housewives, and Cedric the Entertainer to name a few. She has also performed with a professional modern dance company, was cast in the Los Angeles Opera’s production of I Pagliacci, and has had numerous appearances at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. Finding balance is important to this multi-talented performer as she finds time to volunteer in the public school system to promote literacy as well as fundraising for the Los Angeles Homeless Services. Dawn Ashley Cook currently resides and performs in Los Angeles, California.
