September's Ballerina: Misty Copeland

September's ballerina is Misty Copeland!!! She is such an inspiration to me because she started ballet at a late age and still became amazing!


Fact #1- Misty Copeland was born on September 10, 1982
Fact #2- She's a soloist for ABT.
Fact #2- She is the third African-American soloist in the American Ballet Theatre, and the first in two decades!
