![Matt Cedeño Instagram – Aunt Olinda!!! #respect 🙏🏽. Repost from @abtofficial
•
Born and raised in Queens, NY, Olinda began dancing at the age of 10 under Mercedes Ellington, the granddaughter of jazz legend Duke Ellington. She went on to dance at Public Arts High School (now LaGuardia High School) with the hope of focusing her studies in classical ballet. When told that she was too tall for ballet, Olinda chose modern dance as her focus instead. ⠀
⠀
Upon graduation, Olinda was invited to join the Dance Theatre of Harlem as one of the company’s founding dancers in 1969; she was scouted in class by Mr. Mitchell himself at the Glen Tetley Studios, [#SoundOn to hear Olinda tell the tale!] “Arthur Mitchell was very strict, but he could be so fun…And I realize why he was so strict because we had to work not twice as hard, ten times as hard as anyone else. He was out to prove that black people could do ballet.”⠀
⠀
In her late thirties, after many years as a renowned Pilates instructor at her own studio in Midtown Manhattan, Olinda was inspired after she received her first professional massage to get her own massage license. In 1994, fresh from the Swedish Institute, Olinda was hired on the spot as a massage therapist at American Ballet Theatre, “I worked like a maniac [at ABT]. Some days 8 hours straight…I felt comfortable because it was my old world. I’m familiar with dancers. I was worried the dancers would be really cold, but they were so nice and welcoming! I was shocked. It just blew me away.” Olinda continues to share her kindness, passion, and optimism with the company and is one of the most beloved massage therapists at ABT. ⠀
