Hello! My name is Natalie and I’ve been a part of the acrobatics, dance, cheer, gymnastics, and ninja community for over 25 years. How? Well, moving around often as a child and teen, I’d opt for whatever sports were offered in the area even if that meant leaving my previous sport for a bit and picking up a new one. This was a cycle that has given me a well-rounded understanding of this world. Just because there isn’t a ball or field, doesn’t mean these aren’t sports! Athletic capability to do well in these is very much needed. I’ve done gymnastics in Italy and Japan, cheer in Germany, and gymnastics, dance, cheer, ninja, T&T, and acrobatics in the USA. In high school, I was part of the dance and cheer team different years. In college, I made both the dance and cheer team, but ultimately had to choose one. I chose dance! Once graduated, I did adult gymnastics and coached in California and Missouri at some wonderful gyms. Unfortunately, the last gym closed down, so I took my love for this into my own hands. More to come in other posts! What has been your experience in this athletic world?
