 LYNDSEY  STEWART

 An Aquidneck Island native, Lyndsey began her training at the age of 5 at Position One under the direction of Lorna Rozon.  She continued throughout college graduating with a B.A. in Dance Performance and Education and a minor in Psychology from Roger Williams University.  She is a Regional and National Dance Champion, receiving many prestigious awards -  Dance Olympus “Best of Show” for 2003 and 2004; Miss Teen Dance Educators of America for two years; High Score Soloist at Starbound Competition, as well as receiving awards for Dancer of the Year.   She has studied on scholarship at “Steps” on Broadway and the “Joffrey” Ballet in New York.   Lyndsey was also awarded scholarships to Debbie Reynolds Studio in California and the University of Las Vegas summer program.   Lyndsey toured with the Dance Olympus faculty as a VIP in 1999 and performed at the Florida Citrus Bowl half-time show in 1997.   During college, she was part of the dance theatre group and a featured soloist in 2004.   Upon graduating, she co-directed, choreographed and performed in “The Souls Of Our Feet”.   Lyndsey is thrilled and feels blessed to share her knowledge and passion for dance with the students of Position One and her community.

I started dancing about 8 years ago with the Coventry High School Dance Team.  After graduation, I began taking dance classes and performing with the Hip-Hop Troupe "Off The Curb" in Newport, R.I.   In the three years I was with "Off The Curb", I traveled, performed at various functions, met many new and interesting people and gained valuable experiences that have helped me as an Instructor.  I have been teaching Hip-Hop for the past 6 years instructing children through adults.  I am currently working towards by degree in Community Health at Rhode Island College and plan to continue my education with a concentration in nutrition.
