Elizabeth Lindsey
This summer, Elizabeth Lindsey studied Russian language, culture and ballet at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow. The six-week program is funded by the U.S. Department of State to increase Americans’ capacity to engage with native speakers of critical languages. Before departing for Russia, Lindsey participated in three weeks of intensive ballet training in New York City with RAF’s Bolshoi Ballet Academy Summer Intensive.
With its 240-year history, the Bolshoi Ballet Academy is one of the oldest and most established schools for classical ballet training in the world.
Back at home, Lindsey, a Crestline resident and high school junior, dances with Birmingham Ballet Academy and plans to perform in the company’s production of The Nutcracker Dec. 12-14 at the BJCC. She is the daughter of Frances and Cooper Lindsey.
