Natalie’s lively classes push people to become the best dancers they can be. Whether the student is a beginner, a dancer who is returning to ballet after many years away, or a promising young ballerina, Natalie gears her comments to the specific needs of the individual student.

Thank you to all of my students past and present. It has been my pleasure and honor to be the teacher of so many adults who love ballet.
Stay connected with me through Rast Ballet on Facebook. There might be some kitchen ballet soon via Facebook Live. Follow me on Instagram: @Rast_Ballet.
I had intended on hosting a huge goodbye party but Covid has put a glitch on that plan. Please stay in touch. I will be doing pop up master classes in the city.
