Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on February 13, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Ethan Stiefel! From dazzling us as Cooper Niel in "Center Stage"—where your pirouettes were sharper than the movie's witty one-liners—to inspiring countless dancers worldwide with your incredible artistry and charisma, you've truly raised the barre (pun intended).

Whether commanding stages at American Ballet Theatre or leading New Zealand Royal Ballet to new heights, you’ve always danced circles around expectations. May this birthday be filled with laughter—and fewer blisters—as you continue leaping gracefully into another year of success. Keep spinning those timeless moves; after all these years, you're still center stage in our hearts!
