New York Times bestselling author and first black female American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland offers advice for on and off the dance floor to young readers based on letters shes received over the years from fans.As the first African American principal female dancer at American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland has spent most of her career navigating a whitedominated industry that puts many barriers in her path. Through it all, Misty has credited the many mentors who have helped her become the dancer and person she is today. With Mistys profile now at peak heights, she has now found herself in a mentor role herself, often asked for advice on everything from dancespecific questions to life lessons about being the other in certain spaces by her fans. As Misty herself has said, I think its really important to have a community around you, a support system, mentors, people that are going to be there for you on those days when you just arent strong enough to do it yourself. Given that philosophy, Misty is thrilled to bring this book of advice to life, covering everything from body confidence to balancing various commitments and how to break out of your comfort zone. Each section includes personal anecdotes from Misty about the topic that bring her perspective to life.
