Context

I took dancing lessons from Miss Lily Lopatkovich who taught from her basement in this house, east side of street, Broadway, 1st house south of W. 33rd. We had recitals and performed in various places. I started dance about age 6. This dance was jazz. I am on L, then Karen McQuire and Kathy Heck. Kathy graduated 1961B as well. Karen may have gone to St. Mary’s. My baton broke in half during one , practice, and I found it hysterical. I am guessing I was maybe 12 in 7th grade at the time. Lily’s family owned Home Dairy on E. 34th. He sister, Eleanor Labis, accompanied all dances on the piano, and we received typed copies of steps as well as a record from each recital and a calendar yearly relevant to dance. - Per Margaret Molnar, 2025
