Dearest Nellie Happee is one of Michelle Ramos' Godmothers of Dance. She as well as other mentors nourished Michelle's love and curiousity for dance and specifically for ballet with her own.
" Maestra Nellie, passed on legacies such as those of Madame Nijinska as well as international and Mexican influences filled with hospitality, intelligence, creativity, faith and zest for life.
Classical & contemporary choreography intertwined with languages of culture, folklor, musicallity and constant learning - trancending nationalities. The environment was and continues to be one of genuine respect for the education of pupils and dance artists in constant exchance of values: Kinesthetic intelligence aligns with imagery, spiritual connections and the sharing of truth, & beauty in community.
I now carry these legacies in our quest for wisdom.
Sharing this external link in gratitude of La Maestra Nellie's presence in my life and that of dear dance & life mentors; each one keeps on giving light".
