Misty Copeland - the first Black woman to be promoted to principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre - remembers a whirlwind world tour as a featured dancer for the musician, Prince. She recalls how Prince spent a year looking for her, then finally connecting over a phone call, which led to Misty landing in L.A. just days later to dance on the set of Prince’s music video “Crimson and Clover.” The prima ballerina says her career at the time felt like it was at a standstill, as she graduated to soloist at American Ballet Theatre, but still questioned if she truly belonged in the world of ballet. During her extensive time with Prince, his words of understanding convinced her that there’s power in standing out as an individual… which is essentially the opposite message of what traditional ballet teaches.
