Natalie decided at 13 she wanted to be a dancer. Only problem was one of her legs was artificial below the knee. She started taking classes at Georgio's American Dancer Centre but never told the instructor about her prosthetic. Eight months later, her teacher was stunned to learn the truth. Natalie danced better than other girls with two legs and won a spot in the senior company. She never gave up her dream and now stands out as "one of the dancers with the most rhythm and grace."
