Dance is a verb, not… Read More A Passion for the Dance

Passing the Torch

By Leda Meredith Photo by Eduardo Patino of Leda Meredith as Francis Patrelle’s Lady Macbeth I am standing in front of a full-wall tapestry in a museum. It is magnificent.

    I am extremely anxious to know anything about Penelope Lagios. Penny and I were very close when she danced with Ballet de Cuba. Our lives took different paths but I have never forgotten her. I just reread some of her letters which I have saved these many years. To do so was a painful, yet joyful experience. I am nearing the end of my road. If you have any information about Penny, please let me know. Thank you.

    Did you ever catch up with Penelope Lagios? I just read your 28 March 2013 comment. Penelope and were students at Ballet Celeste in San Fransisco in 1955 and I would love to catch up with her too.

    I ran into Penelope in Yreka CA where she has (had? it was 2009 after all) been living, which was a bit of a surprise because my wife and I had just moved to the Mt. Shasta area, just 45 minutes south of Yreka. If this helps you track her down, so glad. If not, so sorry. I was one of her students and to some extent, a lesser friend. Good luck.
