Natalie Higle

Natalie Higle first found her love of dance through hip hop and jazz at the age of four, in a small-town studio in Alliance, Ohio. After moving states and trying many different sports, she returned to her passion of dance at age ten. Natalie started her first year of ballet at age eleven at Georgia Academy of Dance in Peachtree City, Georgia. Throughout her journey in ballet, she credits her many teachers, along the way, who inspired her to work hard and learn many different styles of dance.

Natalie has attended several summer intensives including Nashville Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and Kansas City Ballet. Her senior year in high school, she began training in the Professional-Level Program at Cincinnati Ballet. In her two years in the program, she was under the artistic direction of Victoria Morgan, Jodie Gates, Sarah Haristion, and David Morse. One of her favorite roles she has performed is Hermia from Victoria Morgan’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream. In 2023, Natalie joined the Trainee Program at Indianapolis Ballet. Natalie was excited to become an Apprentice in 2025, and she is excited for her second season an Apprentice at Indianapolis Ballet.
During her time with the school of Indianapolis Ballet, she has enjoyed performing Gamzatti, Paquita Pas de Trois, and Natasha by Matthew Neenan. With the company, some of her favorite performance roles are in Serenade, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Hellenic Soul.
Natalie is very excited to bring her knowledge and love for dance to Indy Dance Academy!
