Natalie has been dancing since the age of 5 competing both nationally and internationally for the past 20 years. Originally competing in all 3 styles, Natalie chose to specialise in Ballroom Standard and Australian New Vogue at 16, but the Latin American rhythms have never once left her body!
With a countless amount of Australian and Australasian titles to her name, Natalie went on to become a finalist at the Lion City Singapore International Amateur Standard Championships 2000.
In 2005, Natalie’s successful career in dance led to her being asked to join the cast of
BURN THE FLOOR, in their new world sensation stage show FLOORPLAY. Together with Stefano Olivieri she toured to over 17 different cities across 3 continents, to countries as far as England, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China impressing audiences of up to 8000 people per night!
Natalie enjoyed this experience immensely and learnt considerably from the shows Directors and Producers Jason Gilkison, Peta Roby and Harley Medcalf. Touring and performing in such an amazing show requires dedication and hard work beyond belief, but will always remain one of Natalie’s most memorable times of her life. In fact she loved it so much, Natalie often refers to her fellow cast members as family and looks forward to working again soon with them all.
After partnering up with Stefano, Natalie’s original intentions were to perform only in shows and musicals, or at events and special occasions. However after 3 months and a great connection with one another, the competitive bug was far too strong to fight!
