A question for the dancers about Nathalie's dancing style

I've noticed in the last couple of pro ballroom dances that Nathalie leans her head back really far. Is this good technique?

I'm clueless about these things, but I don't like the way it looks. However I did wonder if in fact it is something that is correct in ballroom and she is actually more accomplished than the others?

Went to the Albert Hall this year to watch the international final. Almost every lady competitor danced with their head back.
Assume therefore that Natalie was a competitive dancer.

My dance teacher rates her as a good dancer with a lot of formal training and a really good style.

Apart from that I am not an expert, I do like her and her choreography though.

I expect to be mown down now by the Natalie haters armed with long knives so had better don armour and helmet.

I did notice that she does stick her head back a lot on the pro dance, but the other women pros were doing it as well.
I wondered if it might be more pronounced with Natalie because she's considerably taller.

I don't know if it is to do with her height. I looked at Erin, and she seems to lean her head back much less far. Nat is practically folded backwards from the waist and I don't know if this means that she's better than the others, or that she is in fact over-emphasising her posture. All I know is that I don't like the way that it looks (and, before anyone asks, I like her - just not sure about this aspect of her dancing style).

I noticed it too, and I think it looks really good! Never been a fan of Nathalie until I noticed this style and now I'm realizing what an elegant dancer she is.

I noticed it and mentioned it to my sister, it's probably a good thing but I don't like it and find it really off-putting. I'm always afraid she's going to snap her neck lol .
