Arts news for Sarasota-Manatee: Jan. 31-Feb. 6
from Sarasota Ballet
After more than 13 years with The Sarasota Ballet, Coryphee dancer Christine Windsor has announced her retirement from the stage.
Windsor joined the company in 2007 and has since performed in a diverse array of works by such choreographers as Sir Frederick Ashton, Dame Ninette de Valois, Anthony Tudor, Ricardo Graziano and Christopher Wheeldon.
In a statement, Windsor said that artistic director Iain Webb and assistant director Margaret Barbieri have enabled “me to have such a beautiful career, filled with incredible opportunities and unforgettable experiences. It has been a true joy and a thrill to see the Sarasota Ballet, under their direction, evolve into the world class company it is today.”
