Congratulations to our 2026 Gym Dandies Graduates!
Natalie Morgenbesser has been part of the Gym Dandies program since third grade! Her favorite memory with the group was actually what many people would consider a bad day. She says she fondly remembers "missing the flight back from Orlando, it was a surprising bonding experience with Emma and her wonderful family. It also makes for a hilarious story..."
Natalie is most proud of learning to juggle 5 balls while riding a unicycle. She says, "I think that is a pretty cool skill." When asked about an important lesson she has learned with the Gym Dandies, Natalie says, "I learned that everybody can learn how to pass. Even if somebody cannot quite juggle a 3 ball cascade yet, there are ways to teach more "advanced" patterns and still have success. I think this is really powerful you just need to be able to meet them where they are at!" She tells future Gym Dandies to "Stick with it!"
In the fall, Natalie plans on attending UC Berkeley to study Sustainable Environmental Design and Civil Engineering. We can't wait to see what you do next Natalie!
