WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Natalie Krienke

Natalie attended the Washtenaw International high School in Ypsilanti and graduated with an international baccalaureate degree. Growing up in the area, she has been dancing at Ballet Chelsea for about 11 years and was adamant about participating in every performance offered by Ballet Chelsea. Currently, Natalie is a student at the University of Michigan pursuing a degree in Movement Science from the School of Kinesiology, while also looking to add a double major in Dance. After graduation she hopes to attend physical therapy school and ultimately specialize in physical therapy for dancers. Natalie is also in the process of becoming a certified Pilates trainer.

“Ballet Chelsea, and my time with Wendi, taught me to love hard work, a skill that has become invaluable to me especially now! Wendi taught me to always strive for the next level excellence in my work, myself and others. Ballet Chelsea is not just a place to dance, it is a place that inspires community among its students and staff pushing us in both our individual and group goals, which stretch beyond dance. This taught me a lot about myself and how I interact with others and the world. My advice would be to always trust in your foundation and do what sparks joy, whether it is dance or something totally different; find what drives you to work hard and go after it!” ...
