​Natalie Fotopoulos has been teaching and working professionally in the dance world for over 20 years. At age 6, she landed her first professional job as a featured soloist in the Superbowl XXV Halftime Show. By the age of 14, Natalie had acquired numerous competitive titles and scholarships all over the US and was determined to further her career as not just a dancer, but a "triple threat". She auditioned and was accepted into Ann Reinking's Broadway Theatre Project, where she received extensive training in musical theatre and vocal. Natalie has studied with a long list of world renowned teachers, performers, and directors such as Gregory Hines, Ann Reinking, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Wayne Cilento, Jeff Calhoun, Dave Clemmons, Tyce Diorio, Mia Michaels, Brian Freidman, and Joe Mantello. In 2006, she was a top 6 finalist on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance." Shortly after, Natalie traveled to her native country of Greece where she served as a choreographer/guest judge on the Greek version of the popular reality show. She spent 4 years touring with Wicked the Musical and has since come back to her roots at DDM, where she serves as Competitive Director for “The Company.”
