About Nini Theilade

Nini Arlette Theilade was a Danish ballet dancer, choreographer and teacher. Theilade's first marriage, to Piet Loopuyt, who was several years older than her, ended in separation; he died in the mid-1960s. When she was five, she discovered her mother after a suicide attempt; her shocked reaction caused a rift with her family until her mother discovered her talent for dance. From 1969 to 1978, she founded a ballet academy in Thurø with a ballet company that toured Europe.
