She influenced my professional career. During the one year I studied with her we became very close. She always followed my dancing and choreographic career and she kept in touch thru letter and phone calls for 20 years!! I loved her and she was a great influence and encouragement in my life.

Her wonderful ballet instruction. Such a caring teacher. I miss her.
