26/08/2014 12:28 amDear Ms. Alonso, I hope you receive this e-mail. I danced with Erik Bruhn, Richard Gibson, Gelsey Kirkland--before Baryshnikov, and Christine Hennesey. I am sure you know who these people are . Please contact me--I am like you--world class. And I would like to help make Ballet National De Cuba--a world class company like ABT or Mariinsky. Best, Zoltan (Harkness, National of Canada, and Royal Winnipeg)
