About Me

My name is Natasha Ridley and I started dancing at the age of 10 at the San Diego School of Creative & Performing Arts, where I had the privilege of working with a variety of skilled and talented dance teachers. I have been dancing professionally for local San Diego Dance companies since the age of 19, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

In 2008 I decided I really wanted to branch out and try something new on my own. I’ve done a few shows as an independent artist/choreographer in the past for fun but now it’s a full time passion of mine. For the past two years I’ve been performing under my name with a variety of wonderful dancer’s.

Natasha Ridley & dancers have had the opportunity to perform at Ignite, Celebrate Dance Festival, San Diego Dance’s, and various other San Diego productions. My choreographic style is contemporary ballet, which combines two dance styles I love most…..Modern & Ballet. I’ve studied different modern techniques such as Horton, Limon, & Graham and of course Ballet.

My goal as a choreographer is to establish an emotional connection with the audience, and make them see something, feel something, or even get up and do something.
