Mentorship
Hello! I’m a creative producer, director, choreographer, mentor and dance educator who started her 25-year career in the entertainment industry as a professional dancer and actress. A versatile artist with a vast resume as I’ve blended my commercial successes and artistry into a wide range of work in film, television, commercials, music videos, tours, theater, and stage.
I’ve trained with and have worked for some of the most prestigious masters in dance and theater including Vince Patterson, Micheal Peters, Nora Ephron, Tim Robbins, George Bigot, Jamie King, and Prince…
More than anything I’m inspired by the creative process; working with innovative artists creating, collaborating, and developing new projects with style and flair. Celebrating many creative endeavors that have turned to golden opportunities!
Creative PRODUCER / DIRECTOR
As a Creative Producer / Director, I’ve worked at bridging the worlds of dance and unique theatricality together to create a new conception of what “Burlesque” can be. This new approach led to the development of the brand and live stage show that is CHERRY BOOM BOOM. This interweaving of powerful choreography and stagecraft has been highlighted in an LA Times feature article that describes the rock cabaret, CBB.
I’ve used this concept to stage live performances in Los Angeles and Las Vegas residencies, our virtual events, concept videos and our on-line classes like Boom Boom SkooL.
“The Boom Effect: It brings you in and makes you feel connected, unstoppable and alive from the first note to the last movement.” - @BelloMag

CHOREOGRAPHY
After a multiple decade career working with industry masters, I’ve concentrated the elements of technique and inspired movement to bring a varied aesthetic to serve the product at hand whether it be a film, commercial or stage production. As a choreographer, some of my credits include Dancing With The Stars, Hot in Cleveland, Carnivale on HBO, Germany’s Next Top Model, World Premiere Evil Knievel Rock Opera (nominated for LA’s Best Musical), Kate Hudson’s Fabletic, Free Ride, Shell Black Magic and Associate Choreographer on Charlie’s Angels 2, Carmen Electras’ Workout DVD, Guys Choice Awards with Carla Kama and music videos for Smashmouth and Barenaked Ladies along with dozen of stage productions for Tim Robbins’ theater company, The Actors Gang. One of Lindsley’s other specialties is celebrity coaching with the likes of Pamela Anderson, Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore, Susan Sarandon, Valerie Bertinelli, Gwyenth Paltrow, Anna Paquin, William H. Macy, and David Hye Pierce.

DANCE Education + Mentorship
One of my most full-filling jobs is teaching, educating and inspiring dancers of all ages.
I teach dance. I teach master classes with individual dance studios around the country. And, as a full time faculty member, I teach hundreds of kids all over America with Hollywood Connection Dance Convention and Competition where I’ve been an instructor for over ten years. At HC, I introduced a professional prep Heels Class for dancers 14 and older, a “Go Pro” approach that teaches the skills it takes to bridge the gap from studio student to professional dancer. And at HC, I’m also the go-to Commercial Jazz teacher. I make it a fun yet challenging and inspiring class that combines classic technique with performance vitality.
My most recent project, DANCESOUL, is a mentor program dedicated to nourishing young dancers’ creative spirit for longevity in the professional world of dance.
This program is recommended for anyone whose soul lives to dance.
