Young Love
Like most romantic movies from the ‘80s, this couple’s love story began at a school dance. Niemi was involved in dancing since she was a young girl, and she even enrolled herself at the Houston Ballet Dance Company to take dance lessons. Her passion was there since she was a little girl, and the love for dance just kept growing.
These lessons were actually taught by Swayze’s mother, Patsy. She was running the studio at the time. Because Patsy was Niemi’s instructor for ballet class, she met Swayze when she was only 14 years old, and he was just 19. He spoke highly of his mother, but rumor has it that she wasn’t the most positive person in his life.
