Natalie's love for dance began early in life. At age 3, Natalie began her training at Chambers De Maria Ballet Academy under the guidance of Barbara Chambers and Kathleen Geldard. Natalie completed her Royal Academy Ballet exams with honours, competed successfully in many eisteddfods for over 10 years and was also fortunate enough to be selected to dance with the Royal Ballet when they toured to Australia in 1988.
At age 19 Natalie began her teaching career, completing her Royal Academy of Dance Teachers Certificate in 2002. Now with over 20 years experience in teaching Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus at both grade and vocational levels, and choreographing solos, duos and classical groups for eisteddfods and concerts, she still carry the same, if not more passion for teaching the art of classical ballet.
As a mother to 3 wonderful children and also an early childhood teacher, Natalie can confidently say that working with students of all ages is her forte and finding ways for each individual student to reach their full potential is what she strives for.
