Natalia Tabiah (stage name) was born in Moscow, where she studied dancing from an early age. She was the lead dancer in the children's choreographic ensemble and a member of both the children's troupe of the Spesivtsev Theater and the Children's Opera Theater in Moscow.

Attracted by the desire for travel and to learn the culture of other peoples, she left Russia for Turkey and Bulgaria. It was there, in the diaspora of Turkish gypsies, that she was first exposed to the art of oriental dance. It was love at first sight and became central to life.

After leaving the Balkans and establishing permanent residence in the Czech Republic, Natalia continued to study oriental dance with the leading choreographers of Egypt, Russia, Europe, and America. During regular trips to Moscow, she took lessons in gypsy dance from the choreographers of the Romen Theater.

Natalia currently lives in Prague and regularly tours around the Czech Republic and Europe.
