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.
Bringing diversity to ballet is so important. Thanks Misty.

@djohnson6528 Exactly!
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.
She did it.
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
so agree
you are bright young gal that is getting the message across GO FORTH AND CONQUER !!! NEVER FORGET YOUR ROOTS. GLAD your talking about it...my daughter is a professional dancer.....want to see you do more ...of what your doing..INSPIRE THE YOUNGER CROWD !!!!
Talented, beautiful , smart , dedicated, informative , great at her art ...
She has such a great voice .God has blessed her to be here .This is her Destiny to be here .
What a terrific, natural and lovely speaker she is -- a great spokesperson for the art of ballet, as well as a beautiful dancer.
Misty Copeland is one one of the best dancers in history! she always has great advice. I love this because she is very confident of what she says!
Beautiful! Love her!
SHE A PRINCIPLE NOW GIRL YOU DID IT
A passionate speech from a brave ballerina who embraces this beautiful arts form!
What a gentle, humble spirit.
you are so AMAZING....NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE....YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I love her, too!
Loving Misty even more
Candid, strong, beautiful and very talented. Beyond the triple threat. Congrats.
I love misty Copeland ❤️
Would love to see Misty Copeland perform at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York. I saw her perform "Rodeo" in Washington, DC. Could not get tickets for "Swan Lake".
Thank you so much for this talk. Representativity really matters!
I am your fan to just know what you have gone through being the top ballerina according to tradition who does it these days of instant gratification....Malaysia
really inspiring stuff for all young girls!
and ballet lovers
salsoupart And people of any background...
Love you Misty
I'm painting Misty for my culminating art project and don't even care about the mark I just don't want to let her down if the painting doesn't end up looking good enough!!
Excellent speech, Misty!
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.
what is that background noise ? is that her heartbeat?
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.
amen to the respect part. my studio doesn't implicate that too much.
how gorgeous she is
If only we had a president this smart and powerful!
Awesome lady!
Misty Copeland quoted the beautiful Lauren Anderson. My universe is sublime AF.
Splendid! Shared. Blessings ;->
Thanks so much for supporting my post! Please feel free to share ;->
Love her.
Awesome !
BRAVO !
im not born on a gold core, and im a dancer. Is my world, is my art, is my dead my everything
Whoop whoop!!! 🙌🙌🙌
BRAVA!
Yes very professional! And no ballet is not a lost art I was being sarcastic.
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?
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.
+yin ng However; diversity is not vast in America, Britain or Europe unfortunately. Gx.
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????
I like when her hair is down framing her face, she has it completely pulled back so tightly. Just saying.
Misty Copleand is not a great ballerina! Well known why she is where she is!
Farther than you are.
She use so much race card in her talk, interview. It likes she wanted prove something, it nonsense, just go and doing, doesn't matter race.
