Hi everyone! My name is Natalie and I’m so excited to be teaching at SHDC this season! I’ll be working with our Mini Rec classes and choreographing for the competition team. I’ve been dancing for 10 years, and I was a proud member of the SHDC company for 9 of those years. During my time on the team, I had the honor of winning numerous awards, including Regional Miss KAR 2025, and attending some of the top competitions and conventions in the dance training industry. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to take classes with world-renowned choreographers and dance instructors who have deeply inspired my journey. I’m thrilled to now be on the teaching side and can’t wait to share my passion for dance with the students at SHDC!
