Misty Copeland is one of the most influential ballerinas of modern day. She stood up to major injustices in the ballet world. With her action, sparked a reform for the ballet stereotype of body & skin color. Our ballet community is no longer conforming to the "ideal Balanchine" image. It has expanded to millions of different people around the world. From mixing hip-hop and pointe work to having a Chocolate Nutcracker. #ballet
