from First Things First With Dominique DiPrima · host KBLA Talk 1580

Following her iconic performance at the 2026 Oscars in support of the film Sinners, we reprise a career conversation with this pioneering and legendary ballet artist. Misty Copeland is an American ballet dancer who, in 2015, became the first African American female principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre (ABT). Her inspiring story helped make her a role model and pop icon. After 25 years with the ABT, Copeland announced her retirement in 2025, giving her final performance that October. https://www.instagram.com/mistyonpointe/ https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/
