When Natasha was offered the chance
Hi my name is Natasha Brown and it’s lovely to e-meet you!
As the owner and principal of Ascendance Academy I enjoy passing on my knowledge in a nurturing, encouraging manner and inspiring my students to dream big! To me it doesn’t matter if my students are just dancing for fun or training for a career in dance, every student is equally important and valued under my guidance.
I myself began my dance journey at the young age of 3 when at play group teacher told my mum I had great co-ordination and should give dancing a try! I feel in love with it from the moment I started and haven’t stopped dancing since!
After 15 years of training at my local dance school I went on to perform dance professionally both in Australia and overseas before starting my Dance Studio owner journey in the Sutherland Shire.
I spent years up-skilling myself to ensure I was qualified in all our studio programs such as:
- Ballet
- Jazz
- Tap
- Contemporary
- Lyrical
- Hip Hop
- Acrobatics
- Circus
It’s now been 14 years of running this amazing studio and I could not be prouder of the community we have created together!
So don’t be shy, contact us today because you won’t be disappointed!
