Natalie Odem

Natalie Odem is originally from Flagstaff, Arizona, where she began dancing at the age of four and started her competitive career at seven. Throughout her training, Natalie has competed at numerous regional and national competitions across Phoenix, Las Vegas, and California, earning multiple titles and first overall awards during her high school years.

She is trained in a wide range of styles including ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical, acro, hip hop, and dance team. Natalie especially values the discipline and growth that come from preparing solo performances in jazz and lyrical, and she is passionate about the process of developing a routine and bringing it to life on stage.

During high school, Natalie demonstrated a strong commitment to her training by traveling regularly to the Valley to further expand her education and technique. After graduating, she continued her dance career as a member of the NAU Dance Team, where she competed at UDA Nationals in Orlando this past January.

Natalie has experience teaching at local studios in Flagstaff, with a focus on jazz, acro, ballet, and technique classes. She believes that every dancer brings a unique strength to the studio and is dedicated to helping each student discover and develop their individual potential.

This year, Natalie will continue her training in Phoenix as a member of the Arizona Aces Worlds Team. She is excited to join the Diamond Dance Works community and looks forward to inspiring, supporting, and growing alongside her students.
