Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on March 04, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Mikko! From your dazzling leaps with the San Francisco Ballet to captivating audiences at the Dutch National Ballet, you've always danced circles around everyone—literally. And let's not forget how you gracefully pirouetted into leadership as Artistic Director of Boston Ballet; clearly, you're still keeping us all on our toes!

Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations and fewer sore muscles (though we suspect even those ache elegantly). May your birthday be as timelessly graceful—and humorously memorable—as every performance you've gifted us over the years. Keep dancing through life—you've certainly mastered the choreography!
