Stepping slippers into Ms. Garrett’s studio was one of the greatest blessings of my life. She was not just a ballet teacher to me but an intrinsic part of my youth.
An outstanding dancer and instructor, it was almost magical to be in her presence, certainly as a child, but that feeling carried onto adulthood, too. However, dance was not all she taught; more importantly, she taught confidence, respect, kindness, perseverance, work ethic, etc. In fact, one of the best things she ever said to me was not dance related in the slightest, she told me she cherished all the times I had made her laugh over the years. A laugh from her was the best kind of compliment. The positive impact she had on so many peoples lives is immeasurable; I am better off having had her in mine.
Sending my condolences to Craig and Ms. Garrett’s family, friends and dancers
