Melanie Hamrick (born July 17, 1987) is an American choreographer, author, producer, and former ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre, from which she retired in 2019 after fifteen years.[1][2] In 2014, she began a relationship with Mick Jagger,[3] with whom she has one child, born in 2016.[4][5] Hamrick was born in Williamsburg, Virginia and attended the Kirov Academy of Ballet.[6]
Hamrick choreographed a 2019 ballet named Porte Rogue, which was soundtracked to songs by the Rolling Stones and composed in collaboration with Jagger.[7]
In 2023, her debut novel, First Position, was published by Penguin Random House.[8][9][10] The romance novel, though not autobiographical in nature, is "loosely based on some truths backstage" during Hamrick's time as a ballerina.[11] The novel's title is a pun based on the first position in ballet.[12] In writing First Position, Hamrick took inspiration from her life experience as a ballerina, the novel Fifty Shades of Grey, and the 2010 psychological horror film Black Swan.[12] She announced in March 2024 that her second novel, The Unraveling, would be released that August.[13][14]
