    My daughter started ballet when she was 7 years old. She is a music, drama, and dance teacher now after getting a degree in Theater Arts from Michigan State years ago. To do what Misty did is incredible, Nikki looks at her with awe.

So little is known about our Ballet world, and yes, "Black Swan" (the film) was really a scourge on that world, followed by so much fake content these days via social media. Misty is absolutely authentic, a singular ballerina and clearly a marvellous person. What most surprised me, was the close-on perfect interview questions that Ari prepared, considering that Ballet is not his comfort area. Shall be sending this link to all the students at my school, for them to be inspired by Misty, both on and off the stage. THANKYOU!!!

I am so impressed you did a spot light on ballet Ari! I was not familiar with her I must confess! Thank you for bringing her to my attention. The last time I went to the ballet it was in Naples to watch the Moscow ballet. You know how world renowned they are. This was like three four years ago. I went by myself dressed to the nines. And I sat by myself. I got last minute tickets at half price. I had a ball all by myself!
