I remember when Annabelle re-entered the dance world. I was a young dancer in my early 20's, studying at the Nikolais Studio, which at that time was located in The Space for Innovative Development in the Arts, on W. 36th Street in NYC. Annabelle came to class daily, flexing, extening, bouncing, leaping and whirling through the air right alongside us "young'uns." When she began to perform Isadora Duncan's solo, I marveled to see her passion, strength, and consummate command of the stage. In her strength and humility, she became for me a model of artistic maturity.
