I am a student at London Studio Centre and have been lucky and fortunate enough to have been taught by this hugely talented man. He was respected by all and will most definately be missed. Rest in peace Mr. Ashmole xxxx
Condolences to David Ashmole’s family. He was a real danseur noble and I was lucky enough to see him dance both in Australia and in London. Vale.
David Ashmole was wonderful to watch as a dancer, but what I remember most about him is what a wonderful man he was.
He was a fantastic teacher and never put on any airs or graces. I always knew I was going to enjoy my classes when he was there.
I knew David back in the 1970′s when he was a dancer with the Royal Ballet. I would go to Covent Garden to see him dance then go round backstage afterwards. I was a dance teacher and he gave a lesson to my senior students. A lovely man and a great dancer.
