I remember seeing her in performance over 10 years ago, and then recently (last year). She's certainly lasted longer than most dancers. I'm wondering if she'll teach, go into modern dance (like Baryshnikov did) or what... She’s a fantastic dancer, simply brilliant, and so athletic and ‘clean’ of line.
