With deep sorrow, family, friends, and the global dance community mourn the passing of beloved ballerina Nadia Potts of Ontario, Canada. Nadia passed away after a courageous three-year battle with cancer, leaving behind a legacy defined by grace, artistry, and love.
Nadia lived her life in motion. As a dancer, performer, and teacher, she inspired countless students and audiences around the world. Her passion for ballet was more than a profession — it was her calling, her language, and her gift to others. Through every performance and every lesson, she shared not only technical excellence but also heart, discipline, and joy.
Those who knew Nadia remember her as a woman of warmth, strength, and elegance, both on and off the stage. Even during her illness, she faced each day with bravery and grace, continuing to uplift those around her with her spirit and determination.
One of Nadia’s greatest joys in recent years was her granddaughter, Lucie, who brought her immense happiness and light. Her love for her family was unwavering, and her bond with them remained her greatest source of strength throughout her journey.
Nadia leaves behind a powerful legacy — not only in the performances she gave and the students she shaped, but in the lives she touched with her kindness, encouragement, and artistic vision. She will be remembered as a mentor, an artist, a friend, and a guiding light within the dance community.
To her family, friends, students, and fellow dancers around the world, we extend our deepest condolences. Your love and support carried Nadia through her journey, and her spirit will continue to live on in every dancer she inspired.
Fly high, dear Nadia — may you now dance freely on the mountains, with wings, grace, and peace. 🩰🕊️
