Misty CopelandOnce I became a professional, maybe 19 or 20, I really started to try to figure out who I was, as a woman and as an individual.
Misty CopelandJust as a child, before I ever knew what ballet was, there was something in me where I was always searching for something structured, something that was bigger than me, and something so historical that I could be a part of. I didn't find that until I stepped into the ballet world, and it was overwhelming, the feeling of being a part of something that's bigger than you.
