Ballet doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful.

It just has to be true.

OriginalWorks

Seven Days Walking

A work created for four male dancers, marking Nathalia’s first exploration of an all-male ensemble. Inspired by the movement of birds in flight—their synchronicity, connection, and instinctive awareness of one another—the piece explores what it means to move as a unit while maintaining individuality. Even in moments of separation, there is an inherent pull to return, to realign, to move as one. The work reflects a study of rhythm, proximity, and shared energy—inviting dancers to think, move, and exist together as a collective.

Echoes Within

An abstract ballet that allows movement itself to become the voice. Set to a score that resonates deeply with the choreographer, the piece invites the audience to enter a space of openness, trusting in the shared humanity between performer and viewer. The work challenges us to consider whether beauty lies in certainty or only in the unguarded freedom to feel.

At Last

At Last unfolds in the quiet aftermath of a party. Left alone, a man lingers in the space, no longer performing for others, but fully present with himself. As the music plays, he surrenders to it—moving not for an audience, but for the simple pleasure of feeling. Each step becomes intimate, unguarded, and honest, as he dances to one of his favorite songs, savoring a rare moment of solitude and freedom.

The Girl from Ipanema

I created this ballet as an homage to my roots and the place that shaped me. As a girl from Rio de Janeiro, “The Girl from Ipanema” holds a deep cultural and emotional significance. Through this work, I sought to bring an authentic piece of Brazil to the stage—infusing the choreography, musicality, and costumes with the essence of my culture. Every detail reflects a genuine expression of Brazilian identity, honoring not only the iconic song, but the spirit, rhythm, and beauty of where I come from. Even the cast are all Brazilian dancers. 

In the Quiet we Remember

This solo was created during the Pandemic, in a time marked by uncertainty, loss, and profound stillness. It was part of a larger project dedicated to honoring the lives affected and lost to COVID-19. In isolation, the process became deeply personal—an exploration of grief, resilience, and remembrance. Through movement, the piece holds space for reflection, offering a quiet tribute to those we lost and the collective experience we all endured.
