Curriculum Corner: Misty Copeland

3/1/2023

0 Comments

 
This week we have been looking at one of our favorite books written by our favorite ballet dancer, Misty Copeland. It's called Black Ballerinas and is about some of Misty's favorite black ballet dancers who worked very hard and danced from the heart to overcome tough situations including prejudice and discrimination based on the color of their skin. I recommend this book for every young ballerina. When we did freeze dance we would open the book and copy one of the dancers beautiful poses. The young dancers loved this exercise. We also were inspired by the beautiful illustration of Michaela DePrince (currently dancing with the Boston Ballet) and her beautiful grande jeté as we did our leaps across the floor.
