Misty Copeland as a youthful, beautiful Juliet in American Ballet Theatre's production of Romeo and Juliet. She's glorious in person, with an intense stage presence and charisma, her dancing equally powerful and effervescent. And she's been so quick to credit the Black dancers who came before her and the ones following in her pointe shoes. She's a legend in the making. #BlackHistoryMonth . . . 🏷️ #ballet #ballerina #mistycopeland #americanballettheatre #abt #romeoandjuliet #juliet #blackballerina #balletlife #dancelife #pointe #balletdancer #worldwideballet #balletworld #loveballet #balletlovers #balletinspiration #balletaddiction #balletpost #balletphotography #ballerinaseveryday #dance #dancer #dancephotography #балет #балерина https://www.instagram.com/p/Cogv3nTsS9E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
