I'm sure she'll be greatly missed by the company and the audiences and wish her well in her retirement. Disappointing for those who would have loved to have seen her when the company comes to London, but when your body has had enough, it's time to hang up the shoes I guess.

 

Brown said she is exploring other interests for the moment, but hopes to stay connected to dance.

“I love ballet. I can’t imagine my life without it at all. It will be really hard without going on teaching or coaching. I would be sad if I couldn’t do that. I wouldn’t feel myself or complete without it.” She has temporarily stayed away from classes since making her decision because “I need a little time to just accept the new reality and heal from being so sad about it.”

 

I posted this a while ago in another thread, a YouTube where she is talking about dancing Ashton. It's worth your time.
