Candan and ballet


3 (Candan in Les Sylphides, Bursa, probably June 2001)

Jill Pellarin comments about this photo (Thanks, Jill.):


She is so beautiful here. . . the epitome of beauty and grace. I wanted so much to see Candan dance in person, and she promised me she'd invite me the next time. . . but there was no next time. My older sister danced with a ballet company for seven years, and I know the discipline that it takes to be a dancer. Candan had that discipline and dedication; even after she became ill, she still wanted to dance.

I'm glad I got to see videotapes of Candan dancing at the gathering to celebrate her life at Connecticut College on April 7th. Watching her on the tapes, my daughter Mara and I said to one another that anyone woul pick her out as one of the best dancers. What vibrancy and poise she ha--real star quality. If there are any other videos of her dancing, I would love to see them one day.
