Misty Copeland: When will I retire?

Famed ballerina Misty Copeland offers up how ballet classes have kept her grounded, much like how yoga and meditation classes serve others. Now three years removed from her last live performance, Misty candidly reveals that she doesn’t quite feel “whole” due to the absence of the dancing in her daily life. The prima ballerina also explains how her pursuit of landing the role of principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre came to fruition later in her professional career and predicts a 2023 return to the main stage. She’s asked about her eventual retirement and responds with thoughts of acceptance and gratitude, envisioning that future performances will be more celebratory with intentions to give back to the community, rather than a pursuit of additional ballet milestones or honors.

Misti, take your time and help Jackson to grow strong but have some fun. You will be fine.

Misty hadn’t done the ballet onegin yet, maybe that will be her last ballet ever, for her retirement, but also I would love that before she retires her and Calvin can have their historical Romeo and Juliet performance🤎
