Legendary dancer Misty Copeland is the first African American woman to be promoted to Principal in American Ballet Theatre's 75-year history. She shares how dance gave her a voice and provided the structure and discipline that she craved. Misty describes the high of a performance, how she broke into the commercial space, and life as a new mother, and shares her childhood nickname.
