From American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland comes an illustrated nonfiction collection celebrating dancers of colour who have influenced her on and off the stage. Misty brings these women’s stories to a new generation of readers and gives them the recognition they deserve. With an introduction from Misty about the legacy these women have had on dance and on her career itself, this book delves into the lives and careers of women of colour who fundamentally changed the landscape of American ballet from the early 20th century to today.
