Hello, welcome to Empire!

Meet Natalie, our incredible assistant dance teacher, 

     

       Natalie is a student at Crisp Academy, where she has attended since Kindergarten. She has been dancing for 10+  years and has spent the last 8 as a proud member of the Empire family and competition team. What began as a fun ballet and tap class at age 3 quickly grew into a lifelong passion.

   

    Natalie has trained in ballet, tap, hip-hop, modern, jazz, and acro, with tap being her favorite. Her dedication and love for tap have earned her multiple awards for solo and group performances. She has performed at Disney Springs, trained in Orlando, and most recently danced at the Times Theatre in NYC as part of a dance showcase invitational in front of Broadway dancers and choreographers. 

​

Outside of dance, Natalie sings and acts, with roles in Newsies, Grease, and It’s a Wonderful Life, among others. She has also served as Dance Captain for the last 3+ shows. She’s also been a valuable assistant at Empire’s summer camps and is thrilled to share her love of dance with students this season.
