Evan McKie

Born Apr 7, 1983

Evan McKie is a Canadian ballet dancer, writer, artist, movement-content creator and coach and volunteer supporter of various charitable initiaves. McKie's performances are "within the realm of best in the World" according to London's Dance Europe Magazine. He is currently a principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada and performs as a guest dancer with many historically prominent ballet companies including the Paris Opera Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet and Tokyo Ballet. McKie is the first dancer from Canada to guest-star with the much celebrated trio of the Mariinsky Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet and says he owes much of this success to fellow Canadian, Reid Anderson who often facilitated initial contact in Paris and Moscow. In a statement to The Toronto Star, the National Ballet of Canada's Artistic Director, Karen Kain, noted that "McKie is a very intelligent dancer and has the spirit of a true artist", "He loves the contemporary and the process of creation but also absolutely embodies the classical danseur noble." McKie continues to have very close ties with the Stuttgart Ballet, where he trained and rose through the company's ranks.
