Today's dancer of the day was the American Ballet Theatre's soloist, Misty Copeland. Misty is the fourth African-American soloist with ABT in two decades, and one of ballet's biggest names. She began dancing at the age of 13 and was denied by several dance schools because of her late start. But Copeland, being the determined fighter she is, never took no for an answer and followed her dreams to become a professional ballerina. In addition to being a star ballerina and an inspiration to young girls everywhere, she is also a sponsored athlete for Under Armour and the face of the "I will what I want" campaign.
We continued working on our lyrical dance, and made huge strides in finishing our collaboration piece with the other ArtSummer students. We are very pleased with all the improvements everyone has been making, and are excited that our hard work is starting to show through! We look forward to ending week 2 on a strong note tomorrow!
