Natalia Quintana-Reyna was born in Los Angeles, California, where she trained in various styles from the age of 8 years old. As a Degas Dance Studio Alum, Natalia formed part of their dance team and choreographed various solos and duets growing up.

Since then, Natalia has graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Communication Studies. During her time in college, she began training again with the Cal Poly Theater & Dance Department and performed in their spring concert “Where We Land”. She also collaborated and performed in “Music in Color”, a mixed media production in collaboration with the Cal Poly Dance & Music Departments.

Today, Natalia has returned to Los Angeles as a freelance dancer as well as marketing and fundraising professional. Upon her return to Los Angeles, some of Natalia’s recent credits include ChoCoLa Spring Works, Choreographer’s Festival of Dance and Acrobatics (CHOREÁ), and MATCH Residencies #2 and #3.

As she makes her way back into the Los Angeles dance industry, Natalia is beyond excited to share her knowledge with the new generation of students at Degas Dance Studio.
