His steady rise to the top of his profession has been driven by a constant and very deep passion for the art form and what can be described as a profound and honest respect for the people around him. He is the team player and the individual. His extraordinary empathy, his curiosity to learn and absorb, are qualities that have allowed him to\u00a0become an artist of the highest calibre. Principal dancer with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Myriam Simon says of him, \u201cEvan is the real deal. No fakery. He\u2019s genuine and interested. He actually cares about the people around him. He keeps surprising the world with these incredibly nuanced performances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Partner and friend Diana Vishneva says, \u201cEvan knows what it is to be <em>within<\/em> the dialogue on stage. It\u2019s very precious. He lets a ballerina be <em>herself <\/em>onstage. I remember how fast we found a common language.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When we speak, as always, he maintains a positive disposition and his intelligence and integrity, which is so apparent in his performances, reveals itself again in his articulate responses to my questions. <div class=\"ihc-locker-wrap\"><div  class='ihc_locker_2'><div class='lock_content'><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagine_website_Digital_Exklusiv.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Weiterlesen mit Digital+<\/h2>\n<p>Alle Formate in einem ABO.<br \/>\nBequem auf Ihrem mobilen Endger\u00e4t Ihrer Wahl.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alle Artikel online lesen<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum ePaper<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum Online-Archiv von Dance for You<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Jetzt digital freischalten!<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class='lock_buttons'>\n  <!-- Login Form - Start -->\n  <div class=\"ihc-login-form-wrap ihc-login-template-11\">\n      <form method=\"post\" id=\"ihc_login_form\">\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihcaction\" value=\"login\" \/>\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihc_login_nonce\" value=\"1f75831c4f\" \/>\n\n          \n                    <!-- Username field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-username-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"log\" id=\"iump_login_username\" placeholder=\"Username\"\/>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of username field -->\n          \n                    <!-- Password field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-pass-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"password\" value=\"\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"iump_login_password\" placeholder=\"Password\"\/>\n              <span  class=\"ihc-hide-login-pw hide-if-no-js\" data-toggle=\"0\" aria-label=\"Show password\">\n              <span class=\"dashicons dashicons-visibility\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n                <\/span>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of Password field -->\n          \n          \n          <!-- Remember me checkbox -->\n                    <div class=\"impu-remember-wrapper\">\n              <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"forever\" name=\"rememberme\" class=\"impu-form-input-remember\" \/>\n              <span class=\"impu-form-label-remember\">Remember Me<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of remember me --->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links-pass\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/lost-password\/\">Lost your password?<\/a><\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n          <div class=\"ihc-clear\"><\/div>\n\n          <!-- captcha -->\n                    <!-- end of captcha -->\n\n          <!-- Submit bttn -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr impu-form-submit\">\n                  <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Log In\" name=\"Submit\"  class=\"button button-primary button-large\"\/>\n              <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Submit bttn -->\n\n          <!-- Social -->\n                    <!-- End of Social -->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links\">\n                <div class=\"impu-form-links-reg\">Don&#039;t have an account? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/register\/\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                        <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n      <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n\n  \n  <span class='ihc-js-login-data'\tdata-user_field='#iump_login_username' data-password_field='#iump_login_password' data-error_message='Please fill out all mandatory fields' ><\/span>\n  <!-- End of Login Form -->\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evan McKie, reflects on his career as he eagerly enters his 20th professional season in 2021 Interview by Deborah Weiss Evan McKie admits he is a late bloomer.
