Lindsay, a 23-year-old dancer and choreographer from Provo, UT, has yet to win a season of Dancing with the Stars, although she came close in Season 24 with her celebrity partner David Ross, a retired professional baseball player.
Lindsay is a fan-favorite pro, and for Season 25 of Dancing with the Stars, she's paired with the uber-talented Jordan Fisher, a singer and Broadway actor. If anyone can take Lindsay to the end and win, it's Jordan, especially since he manages to top the judges' leaderboard week after week.
With the finals right around the corner, we'll see what Lindsay and Jordan bring to the table. But until then, here's more information about the woman behind the great choreography.
