Sophie Rebecca (born 1980 or 1981) is an English ballet dancer who was the first openly transgender person to train on the Royal Academy of Dance's courses for female dancers. The academy policies were changed in 2013, and no longer require that students taking these courses must have been born female.[1][2][3]
