Natanya Apfelbaum
My passion in life is to bring a sense of connection and belonging through creativity and presence.
I live in Sicily, Italy.
I moved here in August 2022 to pursue studies in traditional dance, music and chorus.
​
I hold a bachelor’s degree in dance from Smith College in Massachusetts. I trained in physical theater at Headlong Performance Institute in Philadelphia, studied massage at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork in Hawai’i and transformative ritual through Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Training Institute in California.
I have also studied and practiced intuitive movement, women’s mysteries, contact improvisation, song creation, eco-sensuality and healing bellydance.
I grew up in Philadelphia. I make a mean gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free oatmeal cookie.
