HELLO, I’m Ashley. The creator of BASH KIDS CLUB and mama to these two inspirations. BASH KIDS CLUB (formerly known as BASH xyz) is a way for me to share my love for community, arts and movement with little humans. I had parents and friends of my business middle child, Free Mvmt Shop, who were constantly asking “When I would make something for kids?” And my response was always, SOON. My son was even asking for a kids movement shop when he was just 2.5 years old. I knew he saw the joy that people experienced through Free Mvmt Shop, and he wanted that for himself.

I wanted to support families by building creative experiences and a space that they knew would aid in their kids growth socially, emotionally and creatively. I wanted to expand into something my kids would be proud to participate in. And I knew that what would eventually become BASH KIDS CLUB, was missing from my life and likely others.

We started in 2021 with a few virtual classes for public libraries during the pandemic, a few safe socially distanced dance camps, and then we expanded into an after school camp for my neighborhood school. With much more in store! A huge lesson in STARTING and being OPEN to where the wind blows. People thought it was bananas to take on another business amidst a pandemic. But I truly saw it as an expansion of the community I was already building and a new way to connect and engage with my own little family.

I am proud to be able to provide an opportunity for educators, artists and childcare professionals to share their humanness and work together to make kids happy and feel seen.

It is an absolute gift to watch your kids and my own children grow and expand because of BASH KIDS CLUB. We’re excited to BASH with all of you.
