We received word that Miss Nina (Molleson) died a couple days ago. She has been the dance teacher for the girls since they were three years old. Miss Nina had taught dance for 65 years.

She informed the girls during one of their final dance classes that she had breast cancer and was not sure if she’d be available to be teaching in the fall. It was a very sad thing to hear, but the back of the program for the spring recital commented on looking forward to seeing everyone in the fall.

The picture above was taken at the dance recital just a few weeks ago. All of these girls took from Miss Nina for most of their lives.

We will miss you, Miss Nina. Thank you for teaching our girls tap and ballet – but thank you mostly for teaching them to be young women.
