"Every time I perform, I want the audience to expect the unexpected. Dance is about feeling the music, the beat, every sound resonating through your body...and presenting that feeling." 



 Tango Fusion, Rose Theatre


"Fusing music genres and dance styles has always been a passion of mine. The mixture of cultures, ideas, and sounds is a beautiful thing. One of my favorite acts I produced is {fire tango}- argentine tango dancing with fire breathing."

Natalia, Las Vegas BellyDance Convention New York, Times Square


"Natalia is a young and beautiful dancer working out of Los Angeles, California. For several years she has been wowing audiences across the southern United States with her grace and talent. Natalia has been dancing since a young age. As a child she practiced a variety of dance styles including jazz, tap, ballet, and also performed gymnastics. In her adolescence, she grew passionate about world rhythms and dance, middle eastern and spanish dance. She began to incorporate raqs-sharqi (belly dance) into her repertoire of jazz and hip-hop. As she grew in skill and experience, Natalia expanded her training with instructors from around the world such as Sadiia of Memphis, Shauna of Little Rock, Linda of Nashville, Amani of Atlanta, Boezenka of Miami, Leila Gamal of Chicago, Shahira of Knoxville, Samara of New York, Yousry Sharif of Egypt, Aradia of Las Vegas, and Saida and Yamil Annum of Argentina.
 


Today, Natalia is an experienced professional dancer. She owns her own production company and produces her own music. She loves to travel and dances at restaurants, parties, and festivals across the country. Her favored styles are classical Egyptian Bellydance, the Egyptian Cane Dance, Egyptian Temple Dance, Lebanese Baladi Dance, Turkish Style dance, Indian Dance, Flamenco Fusion, Tribal Fusion Dances, DJ Remix, Hawaiian Dance, and Tahitian Dance. Her dances can incorporate a variety of props such as veil, sword, zils (finger cymbals), cane, wings, candles, tambourine, Spanish skirts & fan, and scarfs. Natalia also adds excitement to her dance by incorporating fire: fire fans, palm torches, staff, poi, and fire eating. For any venue, big or small, Natalia brings a rare combination of charisma, talent, beauty and style that leaves the audience begging for more."  -Zastrow Inc
