"Natasha is an incredibly gifted artist and a kind and committed leader. Her choreographic vision is amplified by her other areas of brilliance; in addition to being a dancer and choreographer, Natasha is a filmmaker and composer. These areas of expertise lends spice and a multi-dimensional perspective to her dance creations. Her work often feels cinematic and inventive in composition, staging, and musicality."
