Talk:Teresa Reichlen

Year of birth
I believe Reichlen was born in the fall or winter of 1984. She became an apprentice with New York City Ballet [https://dancetabs.com/2013/02/teresa-reichlen-new-york-city-ballet-principal/#:~:text=Reichlen%20joined%20New%20York%20City%20Ballet%20as%20an%20apprentice%20in%20the%20fall%20of%202000%2C%20at%20sixteen%2C%20and%20became%20a%20permanent%20member%20of%20the%20corps%20a%20year%20later. in October 2000] at the age of 16.

Lastly, this article from the Washington Post from March 2012 gives her age as 27. --Claireasday (talk) 00:20, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I changed the birth date section with Template:Birth based on age as of date and the NYT article from 2008, so it now shows that Reichlen was born in either 1984 or 1985. I believe on Wikipedia we can't use multiple sources to estimate when a person was born, so this is the closest date we can do until there's a reliable source stating her exact birth date/year.
