Natalia Argueta Figueroa

Natalia’s love of dance began at the age of three when she first stepped into the studio at IDA. Over the years, she has developed into a versatile and dedicated dancer, training in a variety of styles including ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, lyrical and contemporary. Of all the styles, she has developed a deep love for ballet, appreciating the balance of grace, strength, and precision it brings to her dancing while continually striving to grow in her technique and artistry.

Throughout her dance journey, she has worked hard to refine her technique and artistry, completing her ADAPT tap and jazz exams. She has also trained in the Cecchetti method of ballet, successfully completing her senior graded exam.

Starting at the age of eight, she has participated in numerous local and out-of-town competitions, earning a collection of overall awards and judges’ choice recognitions. These experiences have helped shape her as both a dancer and performer, allowing her to grow in confidence, technique, and stage presence. 

In 2022, she took the next step in her dance journey by transitioning from assistant to instructor. Since then, she has continued to grow as a teacher, sharing her knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm with the next generation of dancers. She strives to create a positive and encouraging environment where students can build confidence, develop their skills, and discover their own love for dance.
