In our stretch and flex class we work on dynamic and static stretching for dancers. We start by warming the muscles with large movements. We will isolate one muscle group at a time and work on range of motion and mobility on each plane. We will focus on various movements that stretch and flex the head, shoulders, torso, arms, hips, legs, knees, and feet. We will work on standing and seated and lying down exercises so make sure you have a mat or towel to sit on. Our main focus will be on finding the balance between strength, flexibility, and coordination/ balance. See you in class. Keep dancing. 

Flexibility Training

WELCOME DANCERS! (and face painters too: more painting info at end of dance info)

Meet your dance instructor. I have my bachelors degree from Chapman University in Theatre & Dance. My training includes Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Folk Dance, Dance History, Hip-Hop, Musical Theatre, Improv, and Kinesiology, among other dance-related subjects. 

I teach my lessons just like many of you take lessons, when and wherever I can. I have taught in my living room, and local parks, I teach from conference rooms when I have to travel, or frommy backyard. One of the benefits of online classes is that it allows you the flexibility to do the things you love no matter where you are. I also teach from the perspective that I'm the same as you. I'm a busy mom juggling 4 kids and 2 jobs. Sound familiar? Making time in our day to chase our passions or just to fit in a fun workout is a way of working on our discipline and creating good dance habits that will supplement any additional in-person lessons you may be taking. 

I  grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois. Lessons were few and far between so I would copy dancing off of movies and videos in order to perform at local dances or for other community events. As a youth, I took country line dancing classes. Always drawn to anything involving dance and movement, I auditioned and performed with a Disney Showcase Troupe. By high school, I was choreographing for the Show Choir, as well as performing in theatrical productions, including the musical “The Wizard of Oz”. 

Before graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in Theatre & Dance from Chapman University in Orange, California, I continued my study of various dance styles & techniques such as: Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Ballroom, Dunham Technique, yoga/stretch, Dance Business & History. From 1996-2001 I performed a variety of dancing and singing roles in showcases and events such as “American Celebration” and “The Story of Rock n’ Roll”. While studying at Chapman, I accepted a position as historian, and eventually, vice president of the performing arts society (PASC). 

When I wasn’t onstage, I could be found backstage working lights, sound, costuming,  or stage management. I searched out other educational opportunities at Cypress College and the Taggart International School where I studied West African dance and Russian Ballet Technique. After performing a liturgical dance performance for my graduation ceremony, I toured the United States and a portion of Canada, researching dance around the world. This eventually led me to Jacmel, Haiti, where I studied cultural and social dances of the local people. After that I took up Bellydance and studied folk dancing in Chicago, Illinois. 

Since 2001, I have taught classes for all ages from infants to adults. I have also studied child development and have a special love for bringing an adoration of the arts to the youngest artists in our communities. It is imperative that all my  teachings highlight body positivity and the belief that everyone can dance. A life-long learner and dance aficionado, I continue my dance studies in Ballroom, Baroque Dance, and Scottish Country Dance. My influences include Isadora Duncan, Katherine Dunham, Misty Copeland, & Sean Greene. 

and Hello Artists: we are also learning the basics of face painting for fun, parties and festivals. Face & body painting can add flair to your dancing as well, creating more depth to your costuming and stage presence. Or just learn it because its fun!

Excellent teacher!   My 14 year old daughter loves her!!  She keeps class fun and engaging.  She is great with communication about lessons.  Solid 5 stars!!!

My daughter has only had her first lesson with Lindsay but we were both impressed with her. She is friendly and was able to make the exercises very tailored to her specific needs and goals. We are looking forward to continuing to work with her.

Lindsay has been an amazing yoga/ballet instructor for me. I started taking beginners  ballet lessons with her in June of 2019 and she was so patient with me. I later on decided to take yoga with her a couple months later and she is just nothing short of awesome! She is very well spoken during yoga and really knows what she’s doing. She always accommodates with my needs and makes sure I’m comfortable with whatever we’re practicing for that day. For example she’ll ask how I’m doing that day and if I say I’m feeling anxious, we’ll do a relaxing and calming session, or we might do something more physical and energetic if I need to get hyper and start my day energized. She has obviously had a lot of experience in this field and it really does show. I’m super glad I chose lindsay to be my instructor and would never consider going with anyone else.

Flexibility is crucial for mobility, stress relief, athletic performance, and prevention.  Once you start stretching and learning proper alignment you will be pleased those little aches and pains begin to subside.  I can help you touch your toes again or for the first time ever!
I have experience working with competitive dancers as well as people who have never stretched a day in their life.

I love movement and I love working with clients to lead them through exercise that feels good for their body and expands their quality of life.  From a young age I have been interested in exercise and I can see now how it has reflected in my work as an adult. Currently I work with my private clientele online and in Los Angeles and film workout videos for my Youtube Channel Pilates On Demand. I love travel, hiking, running, peanut butter, and being a big sister! If I have one goal in my professional life it would be to inspire active living by guiding people to see the journey can be enjoyable with the right amount of creativity. With my private clients my process is to address the whole person physically, mentally and emotionally. It is all connected.  The results rest between the connection of mind and body.  I completed my 450 hour pilates certification in 2017, followed by my 200 Hour Registered Yoga Training in 2019, and now I am working on my 500 RYT.  In early 2023 I traveled to Goa, India to continue with my Advanced Yoga Teacher training certification where I studied with Joan Hyman.

Chrystie is a wonderful teacher.  She can break steps down and help build muscle memory.  She is fun. She is an enthusiastic instructor and choreographer.  She is alway on time and ready to go. I enjoy every lesson and my own practice sessions.  I recommend her all of the time!

Chrystie is so positive and fun. She is very knowledgable and patient.  We are pretty uncoordinated but she is so encouraging and we are having a blast.  My 9 year old wanted to take tap with me but we couldn't find any place that would allow kids and adults together plus I travel a lot for work so I needed flexibility in the timing of classes.  I'm really thankful that there is the ability to take classes like this and on our schedule.  We are having so much fun with Chrystie that we have been talking about expanding to other types of dance.  She is a wonderful teacher!

I highly recommend Cindy as an instructor. Her knowledge, patience, positivity, feedback, and teaching style were exactly what I was looking for. Trying something new can be intimidating and she made me feel comfortable right from the start.
