Ballet’s biggest superstar, Misty Copeland, will be stepping off the stage as the Principal Dancer for the American Ballet Theater this fall after 25 years with the company.  So we thought this was a good time to revisit the conversation Misty and Karen Finerman shared during season 1 of the podcast.  

To be a ballet dancer, you must be a dancer, an athlete, and a performer all at the same time. It is a competitive and complex hierarchy, with thousands of dancers funneling to just a small handful at the very top. There used to be an overwhelming lack of diversity in the professional ballet world, and Misty broke that barrier at ABT with her dedication and undeniable talent.  Since then, she has worked to increase the diversity of dancers on stage and widened the audience for this beautiful art form.  After retirement, she plans to continue using her voice as an author, producer, director of documentary films, and entrepreneur.
