I had Tiit in my photo studio, and he was gracious, mindful and generous. Quite an amazing human being. I wish him continued greatness.

One of the great partners in the 'old school' manner. He will be sorely missed.

Good luck in your new life, dear Tiit. You are a wonderful principal dancer, a wonderful artist, and a great teacher too. Love!

Phenomenal dancer and company. Thanks to SFB for your inspiration since I came to the city 13 years ago. Little Mermaid with Tiit and Yuan Yuan I will never forget. Blessings to this great dancer and all the best on your next act.

I saw Tiit and Molly dance the leads in La Fille Mal Gardee with Birmingham Royal Ballet many years ago and they were both sublime in the principal roles. Wishing him a happy retirement.

Good guy. I like him, his face, his smile. What'd he do and where he'd go now?

[@SMcCaskill]

Hopefully someone has contracted with him to be an instructor. Congratulations Tiit!
