VMPT Well

We are heartbroken at the passing of Austin dance legend Kathy Dunn Hamrick.
I first met Kathy 32 years ago as a young dancer Austin. I quickly fell in love with her classes — her irreverent sense of humor, her quirky movement, and the way she encouraged dancers to take up space with confidence and creativity.
Beyond the studio, I had the privilege of caring for Kathy as a patient and, for a time, supporting her entire dance company. To witness her dedication and perseverance to her craft up close was an honor. Her commitment to dance — and to her dancers — was truly unparalleled.
She lived her life with grace, grit, and deep gratitude.
Kathy will be profoundly missed, but we like to think she’s choreographing something beautiful up above.
Farewell, dear friend. 🤍

While my quads might be a little worse for wear after too many gran pliés, it was so amazing to be back in a ballet class in NYC. These poor slippers haven’t seen the light of day for years! Thank you to my fellow PT, for the peer pressure!

Dance truly is the best medicine.

Although our trip was short and sweet, we got to spend time with so many wonderful friends and family. It’s a true reminder that we belong wherever our family and friends are. Thank you for being a part of our family.

Happy Holidays from our VMPT Well family!

Austin dance. Austin art. Best combination!
