Stiefel continued to dance with the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) until 2012, when he officially retired. For the most part, he's stayed in the ballet world, with few screen credits since the Center Stage movies. He shared on the live stream that he is teaching dance classes (virtual, right now) and has also gotten into motorcycle maintenance! He married fellow ABT dancer Gillian Murphy in 2015, and their son was born in 2019.
