Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on January 18, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Evgenia Obraztsova! May your day be filled with more grace than Romeo and Juliet's balcony scene—and fewer dramatic endings. Your leaps have soared higher than our expectations, and your pirouettes spin faster than the years passing by!

From winning gold at the 2005 Moscow International Ballet Competition to captivating audiences worldwide as ballet’s beloved Juliet, you've danced into hearts everywhere. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater applause (if that's possible), endless standing ovations, and cake slices that are lighter than air—just like your flawless performances.

Keep dancing through life gracefully; you're truly en pointe!
