kacy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Oklahoma City Ballet was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our founders and the "mother" of our company, Yvonne Chouteau, on Sunday, January 24. Yvonne and her husband, Miguel Terekhov founded Oklahoma City Ballet (originally Oklahoma City Civic Ballet), and was named one of the 5 Moons, or Native American Prima Ballerinas of Oklahoma. She will be missed. Link to comment
