We recently asked teacher Lindsey Leduc a few questions about her dance career and philosophy. Get to know her a little better by reading her answers below.

1. What was your favorite moment in your personal dance career?

There were many special moments during my performing career, but some of the sweetest were very early on. When I was in the second company, a dancer in the main company got injured, and I got propelled into her position with about five minutes to prepare. The company rallied around me and I nailed it. It was magical.

2. How long have you been teaching at CKDC?

I’ve been teaching for 5 years at CKDC.

3. What do you love about teaching at CKDC?

I love the connection I have with the legacy of CKDC and the relationship and like-mindedness I share with Rachel, the Director. I love how hungry and passionate the Company dancers are. They are always a highlight of my week.

4. Do you have any positive advice for dancers?

I have so much to share with my students and am constantly evolving and re-inspired. I like to remind and reveal to them their worth, value and uniqueness—and also that celebrating others is a reflection of celebrating yourself.

5. Who was your inspiration growing up as a dancer?

I didn’t have one role model growing up. This was before YouTube and SYTYCD. I looked up the older dancers at my studio and my teachers. And always the talented friends around me.

6. What is your favorite dance quote?

“It’s got to be real.” -GG
So simple. So profound.

Our super popular Pre-K Dance Class (for boys and girls who are 4 years old) filled up fast this season in Worcester. So, we added a brand new class to meet the demand. It is just starting this December, so make sure to give us a call or sign up online to grab a spot for your little boy or girl.

Pre-K Dance is a great class for teaching coordination, rhythmic movement and the early foundations of tap dance, ballet and jazz. Plus, it’s so much fun for the children involved and for the parents to see how much their kids can learn and grow through dance.

1. What was your favorite moment in your personal dance career?

I have had so many wonderful experiences in my dance career, but I think that being part of the closing ceremonies in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona was the most exciting on so many levels. Playing on the Mediterranean beaches, hearing the National Anthem while standing next to the Olympic torch, sharing the field and hanging with the athletes after the performance…it was all pretty incredible.

2. How long have you been teaching at CKDC?

This is my 23rd year teaching at the studio. I’ll never forget my audition class where Charlotte sat in and watched me teach the company. When it was over, she had nothing but praise and offered me a job. I thought “Wow! This woman who I think is amazing thinks I’m amazing, this is BIG!”

3. What do you love about teaching at CKDC?

At CKDC, all of the teachers work to give the students a good foundation. I love that I have a great team to work with, and I am always amazed at the creativity and talent that surrounds me at “work”.

4. Positive Advice for dancers?

There are so many aspects to dance. The muscular training, musicality, performance, artistry, and so much more…and all of the aspects are forever evolving. Allow yourself to reach beyond your comfort zone, and you will be amazed at what is waiting to be discovered inside of you!

5. Who was your inspiration growing up as a dancer?

Growing up, my inspiration was ANYONE I saw on stage or in a film dancing. I loved the thought of being on stage with the lights and the costumes and hearing the audience applaud.

6. What is your favorite dance quote?

“If you dance with your heart, your body will follow.” – Mia Michaels
