Rumor has it that she is currently dating the Purple One. You KNOW we asked her about that!

    Ms Copeland appears so focused & determined. The person interviewing her seemed unprepared and somewhat overwhelmed, looking down at bits of scrap paper and unfocused.

    I congratulate her accomplishments, but there has been a Black Ballerina (in London) make it. Please do a search for Brenda Edwards who made this accomplishment . http://balletmasterclass.com/faculty/brenda-edwar… Proud to say this is my cousin!

    Misty does not have the best photos nor the highest level of talent in ballet. Classy women of color in the ballet world have pictures like that of Aesha Ash and Linda Celeste Sims. Amazing ballerina's with fire that Misty lacks.

    Her boobs look saggy in that photo, it's not flattering at all. Some of her pictures she is pretty much showing the world her crotch…. spread eagle, no nylons, no skirt. Where is the class? Women of color are better than that. You can show your "skills and lines without flashing your goods to the world.

    She is an average pro ballerina. Average looking. She lacks some of the grace and fluidity that prima ballerinas display perfectly.

    Misty is a Awesome Human Being that should be Supported, I Believe That she is a Wonderful and Courageous Young Women Who is a Great Trailblazer, That's a Difficult Thing to Be.
    I Admire Her as a gorgeous person on the Inside and Out and for being a Outstanding Ballerina and not just a great Black Ballerina But a Great Ballerina in General for the Whole World to Know and Appreciate.
