oh, if you loved her than I'm sure I would have. 
I'm sorry I never got the chance to know her.

I always think of the words to Lord of the Dance when any dancer passes;
"You cut me down
But I jump up High,
I am the life that can never ever die.
I live in you as you live in me
And I am the Lord of the Dance said he.
So Dance, Dance wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance said he
and I lead you all, wherever you may be-
And I lead you all in the Dance said he"

Mary Day, co-founder of the Washington School of Ballet, one of the nation's finest training grounds for classical dancers, and the grande dame of Washington ballet for six decades, died of complications from heart disease yesterday at her home in Washington. She was 96.
I was a student of Mary's and saw her just this past April.
I already miss you Miss Day.

I never met her, but knew of her when I lived in DC, being involved in a dance non-profit and all...
A very sad loss...

Today the great Melissa Hayden left us.
She was one of the very top names of New York City Ballet and a great teacher.
I met her when I was very young and still have my autographed 8X10. Ms. Hayden rest in peace.

Thank you all for your kind, sweet words.
I love that you care. I knew you would all want to be in the know.
Addy, Melissa was a major teacher of the young Gillian Murphy, our SYLVIA.

Glebby... so difficult to see your teachers and mentors pass on. But they left a wonderful legacy in people like you.

Ann Barzel passed away yesterday at 101 years of age.
She was an avid collector and a great story teller.
Once while giving me a private tour of her collection at the Newberry Library, she asked if I would like to see Pavlova's pointe shoe and pulled it right off the shelf.
The following is my favorite part of her obituary by Sid Smith in today's Chicago Tribune.
(Petite and soft-spoken, Miss Barzel had an impish wit. Sometimes disdainful of modern dance, Miss Barzel, when passing a section of Twyla Tharp memorabilia in her collection a few years ago, quietly grumbled, "Twyla Twerp.")

Pavlova's pointe shoe! Did you kiss it?
The curator of the Theater Collection at the Princeton University library once took our a box of Katherine Cornell's effects and showed me Miss Cornell's (rather ample) brassiere.
I, of course, held it up to my chest and looked for a mirror.
