Wow... that's really sad news. She was legendary in her own time as Giselle, Phyrgia, Raymonda, Juliet and many others.

Wasn't she also the first student at the Bolshoi Ballet School to pass with perfect marks? This is something I'm sure you can appreciate. Perhaps you can dance Giselle in memory of her this coming Saturday?

I was wrong... she was the first to graduate with perfect marks from the MOSCOW Ballet School
