When Misty Copeland recently stepped onto the stage at Lincoln Center, golden confetti rained down as she took her final bow with the American Ballet Theater.
Also, we hear from Misty Copeland, who captivated audiences as the first Black woman to become a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theater.
Here's my conversation with Misty Copeland. Misty, thank you for being here today.
But despite all that, she eventually joined the ABT in 2001, and after a 15-year climb, became the first Black woman ever to be named a principal dancer with the company. She'll be dancing her farewell performance this fall. Copeland, who's 42, is stepping away from the stage at a fraught time.
