Teacher Feature: Lindsay Murray

It is time for another Teacher Feature. Read on to learn more about Lindsay Murray:
Ida: Why did you start dancing?

Lindsay: I started dance class at age 3 at Dance Works in Quakertown, PA and never stopped. I think our babysitter went to this studio and told my Mom about it. I danced at Dance Works all the way through high school graduation.

Ida: What is your greatest dance moment?

Lindsay: Hmmm...There are a few, but dancing outside under the stars on a stage in Montescudaio, Tuscany, Italy was pretty amazing and very memorable!

Ida: If you weren't dancing, what would you be doing?

Lindsay: I cannot imagine my life without dance, but I do love shopping, home decorating and working with youth. I guess I would enjoy being a personal shopper or interior decorator. I am currently in graduate school to obtain my Master's Degree in School Counseling. I hope to eventually become a school counselor at a performing arts school and continue to choreograph and teach dance.

Ida: What is your favorite indulgence?

Lindsay: Coffee, cereal, and anything chocolate!

Ida: What is your favorite thing about working at IDA?

Lindsay: I love getting to know all of the other great teachers and working with the dedicated and enthusiastic students. I think the whole spirit of the studio is inspiring! I also love the opportunity of working with the IDA Rep companies.

Ida: Where can we see you dance professionally?

Lindsay: I dance professionally with ContempraDance Theatre and VADA Dance Collective.

Ida: Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Lindsay: I will be celebrating my one year wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day, 2010.

Thanks to Lindsay for doing this interview with me! Let us end with one of her favorite quotes.
