Deeply saddened to read of Patricia Beatty’s passing. When I was a young child (not sure how old I was), I went to weekly Saturday dance classes taught by Ms Beatty at a studio, I think, in the Yorkville area. I was coincidentally just thinking about those classes the other day as I reflected on the importance of dance in my life. I didn’t have a dance career (wrong body type) but teachers like Patricia Beatty ensured I kept dancing as a way to stay fit, well into my 40’s when my body said “enough”.
I followed TDT for years as an audience member and took some classes at their studio. I always felt privileged to have had its founder as my one time teacher.
My condolences to the family and all of Ms Beatty’s community.
