She tweeted at American Airlines Thursday night asking for a response on the search for her missing leg.

Hi @AmericanAir u lost my luggage w over $250k of leg & dance parts. “Pls respond, been days can’t dance #retweet”.

“We’re terribly sorry we lost this bag and we’re working directly with the customer to get it back to her just as soon as possible”, said the airline’s Senior Manager for Corporate Communications Joshua Freed, in an e-mail to the Globe.

Haslet-Davis tweeted Friday that her bag “went to a country I’ve never been to” and says the airline is trying to find it.
