Matthew Nash

I cannot believe that today, September 13, 2023, is the first I have heard about Matthew leaving us. I want to say that honestly, I have never met a more creative, elegant, warm, caring, lovely, classy person in my life. I was honored that he had agreed to have dinner with me just after Covid. I knew he was not well, but he didn't discuss it and I felt it was not right to ask. These are the people the world needs least to lose. What a truly special person.

Adieu dear Matthew! Hopefully you shall be able to take up your friendship with my late partner and your close ally Philip Gilliam again !! We so loved you and your immense talent! Please send him my love! I think of all my past NYC friends every single day !

When I was a young dancer and it 1st moved to New York I was taking ballet at the David Howard dance center and Matthew is observing class and came up to me afterwards and said he like my dancing and would I be interested in dancing for him ~ he will be missed

We are thinking of Matthew at this time of a reunion of Indian Hill students, an art camp in Stockbridge MA, that he graced as a young dancer/choreographer and where he met his teacher and mentor James Waring. Matthew was revered and loved for his wit, unique artistic gifts, style and wisdom, all in full sail during his Indian Hill teenage years! We will miss him! A toast to his unforgettable being will happen here in Germantown NY on June 18, 2023 when we gather!

Talentueux et élégant danseur merveilleux partenaire notre rencontre au sein du Ballet de lOpera de Tours nos rôles solistes notamment dans la Boîte à Joujoux de Debussy Merci Matthew pour ces moments Dansés inoubliables Et à notre amitié.a toujours dans mon coeur Annick

Mes meilleurs condoléances à toutes sa famille

I ll will miss you on Monday’s dear friend Sending Love !

I remember in school he was always dancing in the hallway or classroom. Even then, in middle school he knew his destiny was the dance. He was a good friend and great soul.

Love you Matt. A brilliant artist, and a good and supportive friend through the trials of youth. I have no doubt you're out there/up there somewhere, looking fabulous! Thanks for all the late nights, the naked cello concert, and the fearsome disciplines of Miss Craske's Ceccheti classes. See you soon in Yenne Velt, Love A
