Lindsay Lykins is a movement artist, dancer, and choreographer originally from Roseville, California where she began her dance training at the Northern California Dance Conservatory. Under the direction of Jen Brandford and Michael Levine, she focused her practice on ballet and contemporary genres and discovered her deep passion for communication and expression through movement.

Upon graduating high school, Lindsay decided to pursue a BFA at the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance where she has continued to diversify her range as a dancer by studying various street and concert styles. Lykins has always had a fervent desire to share herself and connect with others through creation and choreography which has led her to present several works independently and collaboratively while at USC, as well as choreographing and co-producing her first evening length work Manu – a live music, dance, and multimedia performance in Downtown LA.

Inspired by her own personal experiences and that of her peers, Lykins has observed a need to further mental health awareness and resources within the dance industry, leading her to pick up a second Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology during her time at USC. Studying this field has provided her with insight to a more holistic perspective of dancers as artists and humans. Lykins intends to merge her passions for art and psychology throughout her career to perpetuate spaces that support and encourage sharing art and fostering creativity, while keeping healthy practices to preserve the mind, body, and soul at the forefront.
