Natasha grew up in Coos Bay, Oregon, where she began her training under her mother, Christine Rader. She continued her studies at Marin Dance Theatre, Orlando Ballet School, and Alberta Ballet School before joining the Studio Company at Texas Ballet Theater.

During her time at Texas Ballet Theater, Natasha performed in works by Ben Stevenson, including The Nutcracker and Alice in Wonderland, and collaborated directly with Stevenson to originate a role in his ballet Requiem. She later joined Golden State Ballet, where she performed works by Norbert De La Cruz III, Gabrielle Lamb, Raul Salamanca and Nathan Madden. It was there that she premiered her first choreographic work, Thoughtscape, as part of the company’s inaugural Crafted program. The work was selected for presentation in the triple bill The Four Seasons, alongside ballets by George Balanchine and Houston Thomas.

In addition to her performance and choreographic work, Natasha is a comprehensively trained Stott Pilates instructor and enjoys helping dancers and everyday movers improve their physical well-being. She is currently dancing and choreographing in Southern California and has worked with Ballet Collective San Diego, Golden State Ballet, San Diego Dance Theatre, and Convergence Ballet Company.
