Atlanta Ballet dancer for six seasons“I remember writing her a note and sticking it in her bag after watching her rehearse ‘Seven Sonatas.’ (It said) something like: ‘It’s so great to have your energy back in the studio again.’ We missed her because she’s a beautiful dancer and a beautiful role model for everybody. …“I think she’s going to be retiring at her peak. I don’t think she’s diminished at all through her year off, really more like a year and a half once you count her injury. I don’t think it shows at all. She’s just as strong as she ever was.”
