Hired on Thumbtack

I had been dancing for less than a year when I started working with Lindsay. Within ten lessons, she pushed me to perfect my technique as a solo dancer so that I would become a better partner by creating a new routine https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrRS57COa7Q/?igsh=MXdncWFzdmxoZDZ5Yg==. I had just gotten out of the hospital two weeks prior to this video and was in physical therapy and she still managed to get me to this point! She is so patient and kind and supportive ALWAYS, and I am devastated that I had to move back to Indiana and stop dancing with her!

I really enjoyed taking dance lessons from Lindsay. She makes you me feel comfortable even though I dance with two left feet. I’ve only taken a few so far, but I’m looking forward to taking more. Lindsay is very professional and she is a great teacher who makes lessons fun and exciting. I hope to be as good as some of the other top tier dancers she teaches, and they dance so well! She seems to do well working with all levels of dancers. Give her a try!

Both me and my now husband can easily say our favorite part of our wedding process was lessons with Lindsay! She helped us choreograph our first dance, as well as a group dance for our wedding party. We did a first lesson and then 4 lessons after. We got to incorporate lifts, dips, and turns into our dance. We felt like pros! She was so kind and passionate, and this really made our experience so awesome. It is expensive to do the larger packages, but it is so worth it. Not only do you feel so prepared, it is a really nice fun thing to do amidst the crazy wedding planning.

Lindsay helped us put together our wedding first dance choreography! Neither of us had ever danced before, but she was patient and kind. She broke it down into small steps that we were able to understand. Our first dance was simply amazing and everyone LOVED it!

Our wedding dance was perfect!!! I cannot thank Lindsay enough for helping us with our first dance. We wanted something that was simple, elegant and yet still felt organic, and she listened and gave us so many options for ideas. The final product was exactly what we envisioned. We had so much fun learning to dance together. Not to mention that we got the opportunity to practice at two different studio locations, and I truly didn’t know that this city had such beautiful venues for dancing. I’m not sure if we will continue to dance or not, but we have talked about it and if we do decide to continue we will be calling Lindsay!!!
