877 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 http://obits.cleveland.com/sept11/story.aspx?personid=111425&location=2 Melissa Doi died in the September 11th attacks on 9/11. She's best known for the phone call she made to an emergency dispatcher, after the plane impacted a couple of floors below her office. It is often written that she was a ballet dancer, but I cannot find any performances she was in. Has anyone here ever heard of her and how one might go about finding any performances she might have been in? Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 "Beneath Melissa C. Doi's crisp Wall Street veneer beat the ebullient heart of a ballerina. Had her physique cooperated, Ms. Doi often said, she would have become a professional ballet dancer. Instead, she followed her heart along a winding path of professional exploration." Your answer is right there. She was not ever a professional dancer, nor is there any suggestion that she undertook ballet training. Just a wish.

877 Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Yes but I'm almost certain she would have participated in something outside of professional ballet. I'm aware she was never a professional ballerina. Whether that was a dance company, university theatre, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I think your best option is to try the American forum, Ballet Alert! is its name. Again, there is no indication from the information (link) you have provided that she ever actually undertook ballet training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
