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=

Qotd: who was your mentor/role model growing up or now? . AOTD: RBG. . It’s #womancrushwednesday and my reasons for crushing on #mistycopeland are pretty obvious. Just read the blurb and check out that stunning cover, and it’s no wonder people have been mesmerized by @mistyonpointe and her incredible strength for years. . From celebrated ballerina and New York Timesbestselling author Misty Copeland, a heartfelt memoir about her friendship with trailblazer Raven Wilkinson which captures the importance of mentorship, shared history, and honoring the past to ensure a stronger future. The Wind at My Back tells the story of two unapologetically Black ballerinas, their friendship, and how they changed each other—and the dance world—forever. Misty Copeland shares her own struggles with racism and exclusion in her pursuit of this dream career and honors the women like Raven who paved the way for her but whose contributions have gone unheralded. . #bookstagram #ballet #bookstagrammer #ballerina #bookish #booknerd #books #booklover #booknerd #bookaddict #igbooks #igreads #instabook #instareads #wednesday #igdaily #picoftheday #photooftheday #readersofinstagram #reading #readmorebooks #reader #bookrecommendations #newrelease #instagood #instadaily #bookgram #foryou #tbr (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMgVGXL6KR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#BookReview #TheWindAtMyBack #MistyCopeland @mistyonpointe Loved to hear more about Misty Copeland’s life in the ballet world. There’s also about Misty’s relationship with fellow ballerina and her mentor Raven Wilkinson. Misty also has some of Raven’s back story when her career has started. It's truly impressive that there’s so many things about people of color in the ballet world. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmRtStROVR1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 11: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms 🦌 This is next on the little are they holiday/Christmas movies, yes they are block- though as I was watching these I have decided I think I would put The Shop Around the Corner after this one, but that isn't to say I don't like this, I definitely do, I'm just having a growing appreciation for the classic as I see it more. That said, I have similar grown to enjoy this more upon further viewings. It still suffers from a bit of, unclarified muddle, let's say- but, my appreciation and understanding of it have increased over time. Also, it is visually stunning and fantastical, both of which I appreciate. 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #TheNutcrackerAndTheFourRealms #2018 #MackenzieFoy #MorganFreeman #HelenMirren #KeiraKnightley #JaydenFoworaKnight #MistyCopeland #MatthewMacfadyen #EugenioDerbez #RichardEGrant #TheNutcracker #TheNutcrackerAndTheMouseKing #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfZMLJuNIlWxkFSr8kOXZbUmc7dLGuGw6N-_I0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

During American Ballet Theatre’s La Bayadère at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. I had one of the most unforgettable experiences of my career on this production. Playing a High Priest to the High Brahmin (played by Roman Zhurbin), not to mention I was absolutely stunned, witnessing Misty Copeland & Isabella Boylston dance right in front of me. Great times!! #ballet #classicalmusic #theatre #slimkhezri #mistycopeland #dance #labayadere #americanballettheatre #actor #actorslife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg5kbmVJWmD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
