“When my husband and I first decided to open a dance studio, it came from a desire to give our daughters a place to dance that was better than where we came from. Lindsey took our vision and helped us turn it into something truly wonderful for our community. With her expert guidance, we opened our studio in less than five months!” “She was (and still is) an invaluable resource, as she connected us with professionals in the dance world, helped us put together a lineup of incredible instructors, and ensured that our facility was equipped with a safe, high-quality dance floor. She never lets a detail drop, and her respectful and collaborative communication style makes working together a delight. Our planning meetings were often a highlight of my week.” “Lindsey helped us with everything from marketing copy to curriculum to software options to website design and implementation, instructor interviews, even selecting elegant decor for our waiting room. This journey has been so much better (and way more fun) with Lindsey walking alongside us, and I absolutely love the studio we created with her guidance!”

Jenifer K.

Co-Owner, Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory
“Lindsey opened her own dance studio, for which she served as teacher, artistic director, and office administrator, and she even personally oversaw the transformation of her rented space into a fully outfitted dance studio with barres, mirrors, sound systems, and sprung floors. She is a confident go-getter and an inspirational negotiator, and she brings a wealth of experience to the table. Lindsey competently assists dance studios with marketing, strategy, creative ideation, administration, and organization, and indeed goes above and beyond expectations.”

Ashley T.

Artistic Director, Ara Dance Project
“I highly recommend Lindsey for anyone looking to start their own dance studio quickly and efficiently. Lindsey possesses a unique ability to guide and inspire others, providing invaluable support and knowledge throughout the entire process. I never hesitate to ask questions and always feel like I have more clarity after our conversations for making the next move with my company. Her dedication, creativity, and attention to detail make her the perfect mentor for aspiring studio owners. With Lindsey’s guidance, anyone working with her has the tools and confidence to make their dream dance studio a reality.”

Sophie Y.

Co-Founder, SoTay & Artistic Director, Not Your Average Dance Company
“Lindsey has shortcutted the process on our path to building a successful studio exponentially. It's hard to overstate the value of having someone right there to show you where all the pieces are and how they fit together so you can focus on just doing what works rather than relying on testing and invention, which are both time consuming and expensive. Lindsey has been invaluable. She's a detail-oriented expert in absolutely every facet of starting and running a dance studio and elite training program both offline and on. Here's to many more years working together!”

Chris K.

Co-Owner, Oregon Coast Dance Conservatory
“Lindsey helped me take on the role of organizer, producer, and director of National Dance Week Kansas City, a major free annual, collaborative event by the KC dance community. I was very apprehensive to take on the daunting task since I had never run an event in any capacity, let alone one that was as large as NDWKC. Lindsey not only eased my tensions, but was there every step of the way supporting me. The cherry on top was that she was there the day of the event, cheering me on and helping me feel at ease with every part of the day. So, when I ran it the next year, I felt extremely capable and comfortable to take on the event solo to the point where I felt ready to grow the event even more. Lindsey has a gift of meeting people where they are at and uplifting the best parts of them to accomplish whatever goal they have.”

Jami R.

Founder & Director, National Dance Week Austin & Former Director, National Dance Week Kansas City
“As a fellow artisan in the art of dance, I have seen Lindsey develop a professional dance company, establish and operate a dance studio, and do creative works in dance that have impacted our local community in positive ways. She not only possesses the entrepreneur skills necessary in business but also the creative side to produce joyful expressions of dance. I have witnessed her bravery to step out and create new works that require patience, endurance, discipline, and creativity. I know having Lindsey on your team will produce dynamic results for a successful project.”
