    I love everything this beautiful, young woman stands for.
    So glad she didn't listen when at the age of 13 she was rejected for among other things, having the wrong body type.

    She is a good speaker who speaks from her heart. She has the beauty, intelligence, dedication, and talent that inspires us to become better persons. UnderArmour knows a winner when they see one. No wonder UnderArmour is such a successful company.

    I love her and I love that she is from my City and my Boys and Girls Club network! Definitiely an inspiring and motivational cause. I think i live to hear her speak almoat as much as i love to watch her dance! This message should be shared far and wide. She is so beyond American Ballet but using the platform well. I just love to see it!!!!!!!!
    I can't believe she was down the street from me at Georgetown and I didn't know about it. Argh! #GoM.Copeland

    I heard of her back in 2007. I was deeply enamoured by everything about her, amazed that she could be so fucking hawt and be a dancer of such caliber. Glad the world is catching her vibe.

    @tomboysuze 7 лет назад +2

    Love you Misty! You are my ideal ballerina - athletic, lithe and strong. BUT - Baryshnikov will always be relevant - as will you! Ballet, like classical music, will never die. AND I agree with you completely -- why take offense at portraying a role? It's just that - a role.

    Another exemple that an USamerican does not know much about the other parts of the world. She is not to blame for this, but the USamerican educational system. When does it "produce" world knowing citizens?

    Ballet Damages bodies and she is a great dancer but a boring speaker.

      OR...could it be that you are just not interested in what she is saying?

  • @overseachininadoll
    @overseachininadoll 8 лет назад

    Disagree with her about that ballet lack of diversity. China alone has quite few major world class ballet companies. S.Korea, japan, Cuba, goes on and one all multi ethnicity and programs. There are quite few black dancers seen in every major world class ballet companies. I think she's overdone the African part.
    All that said, she's a very articulated and intelligent woman beside being one of the best ballet dancer. Few dancers are both dance very well and also articulate as she is.

      @GWozzie3 8 лет назад +6

      +yin ng However; diversity is not vast in America, Britain or Europe unfortunately. Gx.

    • @jacobfulcher1083
      @jacobfulcher1083 5 лет назад

      Well maybe at that time she was speaking she didn't really know about China, Japan, Cuba etc. and that says that she is doesn't know about these so they must not as diverse enough for her to notice the diversity or maybe it's not as diverse as she feels it should be. Perhaps she would like over a third of the population of classical ballet dansuers to be of African decent????
