"New" dancers to think about since last we posted on this. Paul, I love your 'breastbone' addition to the list and went looking for pictures of Sarah van Patten to see for myself. That made me start thinking about other less talked about features, such as the small of the back (I haven't come up with the proper candidate for that yet).
I will submit Isabella Boylston for feet, back, and legs and Misty Copeland for instep, hyperextension, and muscles.

What a fun discussion! For looks only and not for what they do with these body parts, since sometimes extremely gorgeous feet and legs doesn't translate into wonderful footwork and beats.

Thank you for reviving this topic, Kerry1968. Looks like I missed it the first time.
Hands: Fonteyn did not have pretty hands in repose but she makes you forget that by the way she uses them. Makarova's are beautiful in all respects.
Neck: Makarova
Simply-Gorgeous-From-Head-to-Toe-Award: Moira Shearer
Legs: If anyone mentioned Fonteyn's legs before I missed it. She doesn't have the extra long legs that are fashionable today but hers give the impression of length and are simultaneously slender and curvy, and when she straightens her legs her kneecaps vanish.
Feet: Suzanne Farrell. Not the most beautiful feet, but amazingly natural pointes, as if they were truly part of her body.
