Has anyone seen Lise Houlton's Minnesota Dance Theatre?  Lise Houlton is the mother of NYCB's young sensation Kaitlyn Gilliland, and now Kaitlyn's younger sister Raina dances with the company.  Here's her photo:

If you click on the name of the company, upper left, you'll find more about the company.

Wow, Houlton has passed on some serious dance DNA.  What beautiful and talented girls.

That's not the half of it -- her mother is/was Loyce Holton, founder of MDT.  Loyce H taught Graham-based modern as well as ballet, one of the early proponents of that kind of cross-training.
