Hi Everyone. Many of you are wondering why I am no longer listed on NYC Ballet's website. Well, at this time, I have decided to leave the company to focus on some medical issues I am still dealing with. I have been battling them for awhile, and trying to be onstage and get well at the same time is just not working. I absolutely left of my own accord, knowing this was the best decision at this time. However, rest assured, my career is FAR from over! I just need to be 150% well before I attempt to get back onstage. To have a successful ballet career you need to be completely dedicated to the art. I cannot do that while I am still battling some health challenges. Thank you for ALL of your kind words. It means the world. I will still continue to post pictures/notes/and anything else I can. I PROMISE I will be back onstage in the future and plan on coming back better than ever!

I look forward to seeing her dancing again!

It was a nice touch for her to mention that it was her decision to leave.  That way she puts to rest any speculation that Martins forced her out.  I hope she can come back, but more importantly I hope she and her doctors can resolve/treat her medical problems.  Without your health, almost everything else in life is meaningless.

I looked for Kathryn at SPAC this and last year and wondered why she didn't dance there two seasons in a row. Kathryn, the best of recoveries to you and I hope to see you dancing soon.

I found this on the internet, in Kathryn's own words.
