Fifty years ago, after a class at the Graham School, Ross asked me to dance, with him and Daniel Maloney, in Mary Anthony's company. My first dance job! In the following months, he taught me what it means to be a dancer. His insightful words, passionate dancing and generosity of spirit will always be remembered.

From Mary Anthony's choreography of Ross Parkes "In the Beginning"
Ross Parkes was a very special person in my life. Dancing in Mary Anthony's Dance Theatre with Ross was inspirational. I loved watching Ross in class and from the wings backstage. It is impossible to believe that he is no longer here, as also Mary Anthony. Ross, I am sure you are dancing in the light!!!!

One of my favorite pieces that I performed in my years with the Mary Anthony Dance Theatre was Ross's Tides. Thank you for the beauty, Ross, and blessings for your journey.

He has and will always be in my heart. He mentored me through my first years with Graham and helped me navigate the difficulties of developing into an artist. Always grateful for his support, knowledge, caring and vision.
He was one of the great male dancers of the 20th century.
