ETHAN STIEFEL is revered for his electrifying presence at American Ballet Theater, where he has been a principal dancer since 1997. In less ballet-centric circles around the country he may be better known as Cooper Nielson, the choreographer-dancer character from Nicholas Hytner's 2000 film ''Center Stage.'' But in Winston-Salem, where he presides over the school of dance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, he is known simply as the dean. As such Mr. Stiefel may be glamorous, but he is no mere figurehead. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
