Choreographer and dance instructor Patsy Swayze, the mother of late actor Patrick Swayze, has passed away at 86.


According to her publicist Annett Wolf, Patsy Swayze died on Monday night at her home in Simi Valley. No cause of death was given.

Born in 1927, Patsy Swayze taught dance for decades. Among her students were Tommy Tune and Debbie Allen. She taught at the University of Houston, the Houston Playhouse Center and the Houston Youth Symphony and Ballet Company.

Swayze moved to Simi Valley in 1980 after choreographing the film "Urban Cowboy."



"It was rural, like Texas, and the three children still living at home could have horses and dogs," Swayze revealed of her new home in a 1991 interview with the Los Angeles Times.
