Dancing Through Barriers // Misty Copeland's "Life in Motion"

How high can you leap?  Misty Copeland’s memoir, Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina, is as full of as much grace as she has on the stage.  My friend, Brett, and I discuss her surprising journey to becoming a principal dancer for the prestigious American Ballet Theatre. Her story is packed with  adversity, compassion, but most important of all, hope. She’s an inspiration for dancers (and non-dancers) of all ages!
