A rare black dancer in the world of classical ballet, Misty Copeland has
catapulted through the ranks since she started dancing at the relatively
late age of 13. Now a soloist with American Ballet Theatre, she’s a
standout for the rigor and poetry she brings to the classics and for her
no-holds-barred attack and energy in contemporary works. In March the
California native, 27, was handpicked by Prince to star in his “Crimson
and Clover” video. Its success on the Internet has won her a whole new
following.
