In this fresh, unsentimental memoir, acclaimed American Ballet Theatre soloist Misty Copeland shares the ups and downs of her unlikely journey from discovering ballet at the late age of 13 to becoming the first African-American female soloist at the ABT in more than two decades.

Bu taze, unsentimental anı olarak alkışlanan Amerikan Bale Tiyatrosu solisti Misty Copeland fazla iki yıl içinde ABT ilk Afrikalı-Amerikalı kadın solist olma 13 Geç yaşta bale keşfetmek onu olası yolculuğunun inişler ve çıkışlar paylaşıyor.

With unrelenting candor, Misty reveals the struggles and sense of alienation she faced as a woman of color in the Western ballet community. She writes about body image, injuries, and the rumors of eating disorders that plague major dance companies, from the unique perspective of a dancer with an unconventional body type, more athletic and muscular than the popular “Balanchine body”. She balances these moving personal revelations with funny, heartwarming anecdotes about the joys of performing, what really goes on backstage at a major ballet company—and what it feels like to make history, both at the ABT and in the ballet world at large.

“What keeps us reading is Copeland’s intelligent, fair, and warm voice…Her story is an inspiration to anyone—man or woman, black or white—who has ever chased a dream against the odds, and the grace with which she triumphs is an example for us all.”—Booklist

In LIFE IN MOTION she looks back on the past without bitterness or anger, only gratitude. Hers is an out-of-the-ordinary story about defying stereotypes, and she shares it in an inspiring narrative that’s enlivened by her own grace and generous spirit.”BookPage

“Instead of rags to riches, Copeland goes from baggy shorts to leotards as she navigates the whitewashed world of ballet.”Library Journal
