In case you all missed it, Ethan Stiefel of American Ballet Theatre (aka Cooper Nielson from Center Stage) proposed to his girlfriend, Gillian Murphy, also a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre.
Isn't her face just priceless?
I am so curious to see the ring!

Great picture! Love her hair. . . I'm almost ashamed to admit how many times I watched Center Stage growing up :-)

(have you, like me, seen center sage enough times to act it out and do the choreography? #obsessed!)
Ah, that is the sweetest proposal ever - I love it! And what a gorgeous couple they make! :)
Aw, that is so sweet! Center Stage is one of my favorite movies :)
What a gorgeous photo! It totally captures the moment. Takes my breath away :) xoxo
I am curious about that too ! I just love the moment that this photo has captured, but I also do really want to hear the back story and see the ring.... When it happened over here to a dancer in the RB, it was in Hello the following week. Hope it gets wider coverage
Wow this looks so amazing!!! i wanna see the ring too!! :D

I love public proposals - it's pretty much a guarantee for a YES - or a major embarrassment, but it looks like she was really delighted.
That's awesome! Center Stage is one of my very fave flicks!
This is the perfect picture! How sweet!
This picture made me teary! They'll have the cutest little dancer children!
lol this picture is adorable! I love how happy they both look!
So surprised to find another ballerina blogger! Used to live in NYC and watch ABT regularly, not to mention dance at Steps, sometimes with Ethan Stiefel in class! (all the girls would swoon ...)
They are so adorable, and her face is priceless. LOVE IT!
her face is priceless indeed! I am a butter heart for all moments romantic and sweet ;)
Oh this made my night! Such a beautiful moment.
that is so so sweet!! i want to see the ring too!!
(p.s. i'd totally enter your shabby apple giveaway but i've already won a dress, i'd feel greedy!)
I loved him in Center Stage!
As friend of Gillians Father, I was fortunate enough to see her dance in Swan Lake, visit her backstage & to have dinner with her and her beautiful family. And while she dances as if her feet had wings, in person, she is very well grounded and just the sweetest person. I will say the same about the rest of her family: they are all very amazing people.
