Patient of the Month: Team USA Competitor Natalie

We're pleased to share that Natalie will be competing for Team USA this weekend! Please join us in wishing her the best of luck!

Natalie is currently representing the United States in an international competition in Slovenia. She is 11 years-old and trains 20 hours a week (she is in level 9 at North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics Center). This year, she placed 1st in Chicagoland Competition with girls competing around the Midwest. She also recently competed in Colorado Invitational with girls from all over the U.S. and won 4th place - the youngest competitor in her group. During the past 4 years, Natalie has been a member of the Future Stars National Team and the Pre-Youth Elite Squad training camps held in the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York. She was also invited to participate in the Bolshoi Ballet Summer Intensive Camp in Connecticut last summer.

All of us at Forever Smiles are extremely proud of Natalie! We wish her many more successful competitions, and a very happy birthday!
