hi Christina, Elizabeth and I were there that night and remember it so well. You are beautiful and an amazing teacher as well. She's at SAB now. She'll be happy to know you are here online. "Mira" ?? I'm wondering if your daughter Elizabeth is the student I worked with privately a few years ago in W. Palm? Please let me know either way... I'm so pleased to hear you were at my retirement performance. I'm glad you got a chance to see my grand finale.

I choose Laura Urguelles of Washington Ballet. Laura and I danced together in Miami Ballet's "Nutcracker", "Juegos del Arte" and Hartford Ballet. She is a true artist and amazing technician. When she portrayed the role of the young girl in "Spectre de la Rose" she had me in tears. Everything I have ever seen her perform has come from her heart. She is truly beautiful from her extensions to her port de bras. I feel she has not been given the recognition she deserves, as so many of us dancers come to experience. Thank you again Bart for praising us dancers from smaller companies.

Bart, I am Christina Hampton and I want to thank you for the beautiful words you wrote about my retirement performance in May 2005 with Ballet Florida. I googled my name today and found your article/blog and had to find a way to tell you how much it meant to me to read the nice things you wrote about such a momentus occasion in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
