I remember Joyce when she was dancing with Stuttgart. I was a super both in NYC and Philadelphia. I was small and blonde like her, so I identified with her! I remember wonderful balances and of course, her pirouettes!
She is from Boston indeed. She & I crossed paths long ago in ballet class in Boston as children in the 1960s - before her Boston Ballet days. (I think it was Gertrude Dolan studios). I remember her vividly as a bright-eyed, effervescent young girl who showed off-the-charts promise (and the other posts jolted my memories of her mother). The rest of us were in awe of her and were glued to TV sets when she appeared on the Danny Kaye show. I have never forgotten her name and always wondered what direction her career took. It's been great to hear about her adult career.
