I was trained by a CIA spy, who was behind the iron curtain. LInda Smith was an US agent in Russia during the Baryshnikov era. Then ballet was an integral part of the Inner Circle of government. She was so talented to be taught by Baryshnikov’s teacher! I’m very rare in this country ss a second-generation Baryshnikov trained ballet dancer. For over ten years of my life, I know that helped me be a bad ass and keep going no matter what! Linda Smith instilled great respect, drive and a force to succeed. My first taste of what passionate discipline can result. I am so grateful for the grace and strength she beat into me. Even with the butt whips, bloody toes and really old vinyl classical music! Still miss that smell of rosin!
