MaZi Dance Chicago*: Spotlight on Natalie!

             MaZi Dance Chicago*: Spotlight on Natalie! 

BOLD FEARLESS BEAUTY!

Natalie is very special because when she dances you see the LOVE coming right through and it's transmitted to the audience immediately. She is so naturally gifted, it's almost not fair! Choreographing on her is a guilty pleasure for me as it's as if I was choreographing on myself, the only difference is that she can still do it! She has beautiful technique and having danced some of the same ballets that I did in the past, intuitively knows where I'm coming from and the feel I'm trying to emulate (this means lots of laughter). All of MaZi Dance Chicago's choreographers would agree that working with her is fun, focused and inspiring!

She's danced almost everything with us for the past two years and is extremely consistent and precise. As part of the team, everyone loves Natalie because she is sensationally funny and usually knows the choreography very well, all great things to have around! I always wondered why she was so funny and recently found it's because she's a comedian of sorts. She's written two shows that have run at Second City and is currently working on a project at Stage 773! She also writes for a satire blog, mentors an 8th grader and also has time to work as a software developer for you know........."work". In her words: 

Why Do You Dance?

I dance because I have to. My body is never as good or as happy as when I'm dancing. When I'm in the studio I work my hardest and get to be my most free self. 

What Does MaZi Mean To You?

MaZi is a place where I get to come and have fun and be challenged, and most importantly, be surrounded by amazing people. MDC is full of such talented, passionate people, and I feel very lucky to call myself one of them.

Running the town!

The best thing about our community at MaZi is being able to celebrate the amazing women that walk through our doors on a daily basis. Your stories and backgrounds inspire our mission at MaZi: INSPIRE. DANCE. ACHIEVE. 

Many of you know Stacy from classes, her role as artistic director assistant in MaZi Dance Chicago, and more recently instructor! Her B-Girl Hip Hop class is Wednesday nights at SL, don't miss it!

Today, we celebrate Stacy's huge accomplishment in earning a PsyD (Doctor of Clinical Psychology)! In the 5 years that we have known Stacy, we've seen her commit to her studies, friends and dancing. Everything she does she does completely, which is why she is so special. We've also seen her grow from a very good dancer to an artist capable of EVERYTHING. We are so happy for her, please join us in both welcoming her to the MaZi instructor team and her new title: Dr. Clark! 

How do you relax? 

I go for a walk, listen to music, read a book, or journal.

How do you rev up?

Breakfast is the biggest component for getting me going.  That, and dancing in my bathroom as I get ready :)

What fashion item can you not live without? 

A good pair of flats or earrings.  I wear both constantly.

Go to healthy snack?  

Usually an apple.  It's great for curving appetite between meals and a good source of energy.

Fave indulgence?  

Chocolate!!

What do you like about teaching at MaZi!? 

I love seeing the various styles each student brings, and their energy keeps me going.

Song that keeps you going?  

This changes constantly.  Right now, it's "Hey Mami (Big Wild Remix)" by Sylvan Esso

Fun fact?  

My birthday is on New Years' Day.

 #1 Fitness tip?  

Your diet is so important for a workout.  Make sure to eat a light meal or snack beforehand, and drink water before, during, and after.  The goal is build up strength and energy so your body will need the extra push! 

How does your ballet background make a difference?

Ballet is the foundation for strength, flexibility, and movement.  Whenever I have the chance, I will take the Intro to Ballet intensives at MaZi in order to re-align my center and strengthen my muscles/core.
