Ashley Shaw is an Australian ballet dancer celebrated for her dynamic performances in Matthew Bourne's acclaimed productions. Emerging onto the scene with her leading role in Bourne's Cinderella in 2009, Shaw quickly became a standout performer. Her role as Vicky Page in the 2016 adaptation of The Red Shoes, a film that has garnered a fervent following among collectors, solidified her status in the ballet and film crossover community. This 2020 release not only highlights Shaw's extraordinary talent but also represents a pivotal moment in the preservation of dance on screen, making it a coveted item for enthusiasts of both physical media and dance history.
