Written in 2008, on behalf of her friend, renowned ballerina, and wellness advocate, Maïa Hellès. Maïa passed away in 2016, at the age of 99.
Mme.
Hellès as we knew her was the girls’ dance movement/exercise teacher for about 15 years between 1960 until 1975. During my last years at the Lycée, she was my favorite adult. I have kept in touch with her over the years and recently, we have reconnected more intensely.
The exercises she taught us stayed with me through the years and when I shared them with others, they would ask “where did you learn this?”
Maïa Hellès has been teaching the movement exercises she learned from her mother Fée Heller.
We start with Maia Helles.
Fée or Fea was born in Russia, but truly became well-known in Paris at her 33 Champs Elysées studio where she taught the wealthy, famous, and intellectual women of Europe for 50 years. Fee changed her name to Hellès to show her preference for Greek rather than German culture.
