Ailish Sinclair’s sixth favourite Ballet Dancer of All Time

What Ho Wee Readers, and welcome to the first post in my new blog series Ailish Sinclair’s Top Six Ballet Dancers of All time – I know it’s a bit of a mouthful but that’s the name I settled on so you’re just gonna have to lump it. Made in collaboration once again with my good friend Ailish Sinclair, to celebrate the next book in her Dancer Series, Cabriole. It’s out today, go check it out. Also siign up for The Wee Mailing List to find out Ailish’s top most Ballet dancer of all time.

Amanda Schull, Ethan Stiefel and Sascha Radetsky in Center Stage

Amanda Schull – American, a actress and former professional ballet dancer. You may know her from her work on One Tree Hill and Pretty Little Liars, as well as her recurring role on the show Suits. But her most memorable role, at least to Ailish, is Jody Sawyer struggling ballet student in the film Centre Stage. Also fun fact, she is also the daughter of the current president of Ballet Hawaii, not really relevant to this post but interesting none the less.

Ethan Stiefel – American, a ballet dancer, director and choreographer and former principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre and former artistic director of the royal New Zealand Ballet. Also his surname means boot in German, which isn’t relevant to anything but I thought was really interesting.

Sascha Radetsky – Another American, trained in the Moscow’s Bolshoi Academy under Pyotr Pestov. He performed as a soloist with American Ballet Theatre, and a principal with Dutch National Ballet. As of 2018 the Artistic Director for American Ballet Theatre. He also appeared on the show Flesh and Bone as someone called Ross.
