Nikki Atwell

 

"Some People come into our lives and quickly go.  Some people stay for a while and give us a deeper understanding of what is truly important in this life.  They touch our souls.  We gain strength from the footprints they have left on our hearts and we will never be the same."    Flavia On Oct. 8, 2002, Nikki tragically died in a car accident.  She was one of the original members of NADT and last spring we dedicated an original ballet, "Footprints" in her memory.  This wonderful piece was choreographed by Patrick Crommett and will be presented again by NADT at a Fund Raiser in November 2003 to raise money for the Nikki Atwell Scholarship Fund to go to deserving students wishing to advance their education in the arts.  Nikki not only danced, but was an accomplished singer and performed in many Community Theatre Productions.  She also was a gifted dance teacher .at the Mtn. View Ballet, Etc. and the Izard County Dance Academy.   We miss her greatly.
