Harry Woolever

He made you believe in yourself because he believed in you. It was an honor to meet him. AMDA NY Student, 2014-15

Harry had such a huge impact on me as a student at AMDA that after touring for several years I returned and applied to teach there. I hoped for the opportunity to spend more time with him, to learn more from him. I was over the moon when I found out he was going to train me 1:1 to teach his theatre dance classes.

I studied under him at AMDA. I was new to dance but he would use me to demonstrate to the class and he made me feel like a Prima ballerina! He was the best.

Enough to power me through a 40 year career on stage. And in honor of this unparalleled gift, I dance for him today. AMDA gave me Harry and I will always treasure him. Rest in power, dear Harry.

Harry was my dance teacher at AMDA in the early 1970s. He was amazing and I never forgot him! I was recently going through my huge record collection and found an album entitled "Jazz Dancing". There was handsome, young Harry Wollever...front and center on the cover! I would love to give this album to one of his family members, if they would like to have it. May he rest in peace...and dance all over Heaven!
