🎙️ Building a Dance Community with Natasha Pyeatte

Natasha Pyeatte, Artistic Director of the dance program at Weehawken Creative Arts, to talk about her journey in dance and how a small local program grew into a thriving arts organization serving hundreds of young people across the Western Slope.

Natasha shares how she discovered dance at just four years old, eventually earning Level 7 certification through the American Ballet Theatre, and how her passion for dance led her to build Weehawken’s dance program from just 12 students.

Today, nearly 400 students participate each week, supported by a team of 12 dance instructors. With a new 10,000-square-foot facility, hundreds of classes, and thousands of enrollments, Weehawken has become much more than a place to learn dance.
