Such sad news. Miss Busse was my ballet teacher in the 70’s. She was amazing! Her technique was impeccable and although she was strict she was kind. I remember how beautifully dressed she always was. Stylish full skirts with a belt cinched into her tiny waist and her hair perfectly styled. She was an incredible role model and I still love ballet today. Rest In Peace Miss Busse.
My Teacher, Shining Example, Wise Counsellor, Mentor & Friend for life. She enriched so many lives.
Her valuable lessons, wisdom and high standards – not only in Dance, but in Life – will remain always with those who had the honour of knowing her.
May she Dance with the Angels for Eternity
