We knew we could not raise our son, John, under this repressive regime. So it was just a question of when we were going to leave Cuba. And we couldn't tell anyone because that would expose others to danger. So we left through Mexico in 1964, arriving in the United States soon after.

Everywhere we went, ... we encountered former colleagues and scenes from our childhood. Mr. White and I also got to spend a day with our great teacher, Fernando Alonso, who is now 90. We were greeted graciously, as well, by Alicia Alonso, whom we met at a performance of Giselle at the Garcia Lorca Theater, where we once danced. And we were swamped with love by Cuban ballet fans who remember the two of us dancing our roles in theaters all over the island. It was as if the last 40-some years had melted away. It was incredibly moving.
