Natalie’s early training included the RAD with Miss Ruth French, the London School of Contemporary Dance with Miss Maria Fay, and the schools of Dame Merle Park and Mrs Bette Bayliss. From the age of 16, she trained full-time at the prestigious Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, gaining major dance and drama teaching qualifications alongside A Levels in English, Art (with History of Art), and Sociology. She later achieved an Honours degree in Dance and Related Arts from Chichester University.
