In 1962, they established the first fully accredited dance department in the United States at the University of Oklahoma at Norman, Oklahoma.[6] She was featured in Ballets Russes, a documentary film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005.[7][8] She died after a long illness on January 24, 2016.[9] During her career, she worked with such noted choreographers as George Balanchine, Leonide Massine, Antony Tudor, Agnes de Mille, and Bronislav Nijinska.[2]
