Ashly (DelGrosso) Costa grew up in a dancing family, spending most of her childhood in her mother’s dance studio. Although she trained in all styles of dance, she found her greatest love in ballroom. As a teenager, Ashly went on to become a world finalist and win multiple national ballroom championships.

Ashly performed with Odyssey Dance Theater for five years before making her television debut on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars, where she partnered with stars such as Joey McIntyre, Master P, Harry Hamlin, Tom Bergeron, and the American hero Buzz Aldrin. She has also been featured on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Jonas Brothers, America’s Funniest Videos, Late Night with Jimmy Kimmel, Regis and Kelly, Good Morning America, and many more.

For the past eight seasons, Ashly has been a teacher with NUVO Dance Convention, where she enjoys working with talented studios and intensives across the country, sharing her passion for dance. However, her greatest achievement and joy are her five amazing children: Ammon (17), Enoch (15), Naomi (13), Sam (10), and Emma (1).
