Lindsay Edgar
Dance Teacher - Children
I am Lindsay, my role within the studios involves teaching the children on a Saturday morning working towards competitions and shows.
I love to perform on the stage, it's something that I gained as a child.
The children would say I am a perfectionist but this has worked wonders in getting them prepared for exams, pantomimes or competitions
