    A Piece of Heaven

    Editors Note: I am a great fan of Peggy Baker. I encountered her in NYC where, performing as a solo artist, she captured my eye and heart with her eloquent physicality and vibrant presence. I am still in awe and am not alone. Not only a brilliant performer, she is a compelling and sensitive writer, and I am delighted that she accepted my invitation to write about her experience of dancing with Lar Lubovitch early in her stellar career.
