Steven McRae

Career Trajectory

Steven McRae emerged as a principal dancer of The Royal Ballet, where he has become known for his technical brilliance and interpretive versatility across classical and contemporary repertoire. From the grand classical roles of the nineteenth-century canon to the abstract modernism of Balanchine and contemporary choreographers, McRae has established himself as one of the company's most reliable and dramatically engaged male principals. His career reflects the evolution of classical ballet toward stylistic pluralism, with McRae equally at home in the virtuosic demands of Don Quixote and the geometric precision of Symphony in C.
