Happy Birthday, Derek Deane! May your pirouettes always be graceful and your choreography forever timeless. From dazzling audiences as Principal Dancer at the Royal Ballet to steering the English National Ballet with flair until 2001, you've truly danced circles around us all—literally!Your artistry continues to inspire generations of dancers who strive (and occasionally stumble) in their attempts to match your elegance. Here's hoping this year brings you even more standing ovations—and fewer sore toes! Keep twirling through life with style; after all, age is just a number—but impeccable technique lasts forever.
Cheers and happy birthday!
