Natasha Tambaoan

Natasha developed a love for all art and a passion for dance at a young age. As a child and into her teen years, she experimented and tried a variety of dance forms such as hula, ballet, lindy hop, and charleston. She grew up in a dance studio that taught line dance and mostly Latin ballroom: cha-cha, salsa, bachata, tango, swing, boogie, 2-step, and waltz. Moving forward, Natasha started taking classes at Black Velvet Studio: exotic dance, pole, belly dance, twerk, burlesque, aerial, yoga, and flexibility. She later became an Xpert Certified Pole Instructor. Besides the sport, she loves the positive and supportive community she found among her classmates and teachers. They inspire her to challenge herself and never give up learning. Natasha's goal as an instructor is to carry on that same positive energy and create an encouraging class environment to learn and grow.
