Best Performance by a Dancer: Rachel Van Buskirk in “Dracula” In January 2012, Atlanta Ballet’s Rachel Van Buskirk was named one of Dance Magazine’s annual “25 to Watch.” In 2013, she showed us why. She was a standout in the company’s contemporary ballets, but her tour de force was as Lucy Westenra in the gothic, full-length “Dracula.” She not only mastered Michael Pink’s challenging choreography, which is more difficult than it looks, but embodied the character in every lift, turn, jump and gesture. As Lucy spiraled from charming innocence to hungry, blood-stained undead, Van Buskirk made us believe. A masterful achievement, and a reason she was one of ArtsATL’s “30 Under 30” creative talents in Atlanta. — GAR ArtsATL
