A dancer of extremes, her work ethic, talent, passion, even flexibility (a 180 degree split is nothing to her... she does 270) are beyond the norm. Where others may settle for good, or aim for simple greatness, Natalia has other plans. She is driven to be the best ballet dancer she can possibly be.
