Special teacher, special friend, special colleague. We will miss her dearly. She taught so many of us so much, but mostly how to dance with freedom and abandon. Her pirouettes will always be memorable! Joann Ferguson Browning

To the family of Karen Kriete, my thoughts and prayers are sent your way. Karen taught me so much in her ballet classes at SMU when I was completing my MFA in choreography and performance. In fact on this past Saturday I was discussing how after I left SMU and went to teach at LSU, I experienced the cutting of the dance program 3 months after I arrived. Seven months later I received a phone call from Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama saying they had received a recommendation from Professor Karen Kriete saying I would be a good candidate for starting a dance program. Karen's belief in me will always live within my heart. As I reflect upon her passing, I see her sitting on that long bench in the dance studio in front of the mirror with her legs crossed and her ponytail hanging over her shoulder ready to begin another fascinating ballet class. She will be missed by so many. With love and gratitude to Karen … Lesa Rogers Broadhead
