Some of my best memories involved dancing in her studio! She was a wonderful lady that I always remember fondly!
😔❤️
Oh Anita..you taught me so much. At age 14 in 1974…my first job teaching for 4 years. You supported my entrance in the SC Jr Miss pageant. You with your talented sister Andrea opened my mind and training in NYC summers 1976 & 1977. Thank you for all you have given to me ..and to so many others. Peace
We are thinking of all of you with much love.

Wonderful memories of Anita and David. They invited us into their homes and their lives. Anita always shared her laughter and smiles. Always be remembered as wonderful friends. Our prayers for Michael and Charlie.
Michael and Charlie and the Freed family: I am sorry to hear of the passing of Anita. While living in Kingstree, she as well as your Dad were very good friends. Your Mom was a friendly, kind, helpful, and full of energy lady as well as a talented dancer and teacher of many who enjoyed her enthusiasm for the thrill of dance performance. She will be truly missed as a contributor to a more pleasant life to many.
