She later took on advanced Jazz, Modern and Contemporary Ballet techniques until she graduated from JBDC in 2003. During her early years Lindsay performed with her local company, the Olney Children’s Ballet Theatre dancing in lead roles in works such as The Nutcracker, Concerto Borocco, Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Serenade, and Paquita. Lindsay went on to continue her studies at the University of Arizona pursuing a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance, but had to withdrawal from the program after just three years due to a chronic back injury. She is now pursuing a Geosciences Earth System major at the U of A with minors in French and Planetary Science but her true passion of life remains in dance and choreography.
