An interview with Misty Copeland | Why Dance Matters

We are delighted to launch series nine of our podcast Why Dance Matters with an exceptional conversation with Misty Copeland.

Nine years ago this month, Misty Copeland became the first ever Black American woman to be promoted to principal at American Ballet Theatre. One of ballet’s most inspirational figures, Misty opens this new season and reflects on her extraordinary journey – and why dance matters to her.
