Sabine0308 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I don't know if it's appropriate to post here, but I'll do it anyway. I saw this posted on Alina Cojocaru's Instagram Story, so it's serious. It has been shared by other dancers (e.g. Johan Kobborg). Maybe sharing this here helps, who knows...Lin is a corps member of Hamburg Ballet and a previous prize winner of Prix de Lausanne. My favorite Giselle! I hope she is found soon🙏🙏 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgeb Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I can't find a single newspaper article on the subject. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, Jorgeb said: I can't find a single newspaper article on the subject. Very strange. I suppose that's why top dancers like Cojocaru, Salenko, Kobborg, Oberlin et al are helping to spread the word. To the press she's just one of many many young people who either run away or are taken every year (shocking but true) and there are too many to put in the papers, but publicising it like this greatly improves her chances of being found alive and well. Hope Lin Zhang is safe and that whoever thinks they may have spotted or seen her will notify the police to help find her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgeb Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Which social networks are publicising the situation? I haven't been able to find anything on Instagram or Facebook. I hope the young dancer is found and is okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I've seen it on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Johan Kobborg's accounts specifically. I hope good news comes soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybalt Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I noticed that too. But I wonder why the Hamburg Ballet doesn't write about it? It's her employee/dancer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Employee privacy considerations? Anyway, it sounds as though it's no longer necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear that she's been found 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 So relieved that’s she is found. Hopefully just young person wobbles.. The worry for her family and friends must have been awful. @BalletcoForum Moderators could the title be amended to say ‘found and safe’ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Perhaps the concern expressed by senior stars like Cojocaru, Salenko, Oberlin et al helped turn things around. Sometimes a small wobble can spiral into disaster with tragic outcomes if the person in it feels utterly alone, or a dangerous situation (eg if she didn't go missing voluntarily) might be resolved safely if the malevolent party realised, yikes, a lot of people have noticed she is gone. I don't know the details hence my two opposite hypotheses, but just wanted to say it's very moving to see the level of compassion and kindness from senior dance stars in helping even in a small way to facilitate her safe return. Hope she is ok and recovering well. Lovely to see the support from fellow dancers. ♡ Edited January 10 by Emeralds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabine0308 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 I was also very touched by the dancer/choreographer support on social media. After all, it is a relative small community and they stick together when in need❤️. There is an ongoing police investigation, so maybe details follow later. Anyway: she is alive!❤️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
