Hello, I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Natalie and I’ve been dancing for most of my life. While my professional background is in communications, I study dance, choreograph and often perform. As I mature as a dancer, I become more and more passionate about sharing some of the benefits I’ve seen. This is what For Dance Sake is all about. I create dance follow-along videos for you to explore dance at your own pace and for your own needs.
I invite you to join me, and together let us practice dance to enhance overall well-being- to reduce stress, to keep fit, to be creative and for the pure joy of it. This is an inclusive space for anybody to enjoy dance movement, irrespective of age, dance level or body type. All are welcome! Let’s dance!
