We’re sad to report that Mary Waugh-Taylor, a respected choreographer and the Academy’s beloved modern dance teacher, died Friday after a courageous battle with illness. Her colleague Josie Metal-Corbin sent this report:
Dancers/Friends…It is with great sadness that I write to tell you that Mary died peacefully at 5:30pm on Friday, June 25th. She was at home sitting on the floor surrounded by her family. They request that there be no calls or visits until after Tuesday. Her daughters Halley and Maya are grateful for your love and support.

OAB dancers perform in the Dundee Days parade
Omaha Academy of Ballet dancers took part in the Dundee Day parade on Saturday, Aug. 23. The costumed dancers moved up Underwood Avenue performing a “parade-friendly” combination set by instructor Lynne Nevin, drawing applause from the crowd.
Academy students performed August 9 and 10 at Lauritzen Gardens‘ Art in Bloom festival.
Nineteen students participated in the program, which featured pieces from our 2008 recital choreographed by faculty members Lynne Nevin and Mary Waugh-Taylor. Co-director Sheila Nelson coordinated the production.
Thanks to all the students and families who participated!
