Natasha Posey
Faculty

Natasha Posey, a Georgia native, began her dance career performing with Augusta Ballet Company. She earned a BFA in dance from Point Park College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has since performed with Lynda Martha Dance Company (Chicago), Wisconsin Ballet Theatre (Green Bay), and Ballet Madison. Natasha's "day job" is a schoolteacher. She earned her teaching certification at UW-Madison where she graduated with honors. Natasha then began integrating the arts into education with her project "Language Arts Learned Through the Creative Arts." As an artist-in-residence at Schenk Elementary School in Madison, Natasha taught classes that combined dance with reading, writing, and arithmetic to the whole school. She has led teacher-training workshops through Very Special Arts-Wisconsin where educators are taught how to integrate movement with students of all abilities. Currently, Natasha is a middle school teacher at Golda Meir School for the Gifted and Talented where she teaches math, science, and pre-engineering (through dance, occasionally). In addition to performing with the Danceworks Performance Company since 2001, Natasha also teaches the Milwaukee Ballet School's summer dance camps. In her spare time, Natasha is currently completing her Master's degree through National Louis University.
