Misty Copeland on Balancing Athleticism and Artistry

The terms “Prodigy” and “Trailblazer” are often thrown around casually - but in this episode, Henrik sits down with someone who carries both of these titles with ease. Misty Copeland, the first African American Principal Dancer at the American Ballet Theatre, talks to Henrik about her unique journey from her first ballet class at thirteen years of age to collaborating with the likes of Prince and Drake. Misty talks about the physical and creative skill-sets required to be at the top of her craft and how she’s on a mission to make ballet and black ballet history accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. Club 30 is presented by Verizon.Become a member of Club 30 by subscribing to our YouTube channel and following us on Instagram and Twitter.Brought to you by MSG Sports.
