Description

Misty Copeland's journey to becoming one of America's most groundbreaking dancers began with a single moment of courage. At just thirteen years old, she stepped into a community centre's after-school ballet class, where she would discover a world of discipline and beauty. As she progressed at an astonishing rate, Misty faced a choice: to conform to the expectations of her new world or to stay true to herself. With an insider's passion, Misty Copeland shares the story of her historic journey to become the first African-American principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre. This is a story of passion, identity, and the courage to be one's own kind. It takes readers behind the scenes of her early days as a dancer, from her first classes to her triumphant roles in some of the world's most iconic ballets. Life in Motion is a powerful and inspiring tale of a young woman who dared to dream of a different life.
