Lindsey's love for dance started at a very early age when she started dancing classes aged just 2 1/2. Born into a family of dancers and dance teachers it was always Lindsey's ambition to become a qualified dance teacher and have her own dancing school. In 2010 Lindsey founded her own dancing school – 'The Linzi G School of Dance' for adult tap classes, and then expanded in 2013 to include a wider of variety of classes for both children and adults.
