[@INeedABlessingNow]

Misty is a wonderful interview. I hope that her return to performing is very successful.

[@GrandpaVince]

Good old grandma Shirley was a ballerina grandma back in the days of yonder

[@Hans6789-j9t]

She’s just so lovely❤

[@thetreasuregarden.creates]

ok, I'm done with misty! she just casually dances, in heels, while just giggling. effortless. ugh, she's so amazing!

[@edd9032]

Misty is such a lovely person❤

[@public.public]

Has the BBC lost the news again or just thrown it away?

[@KMILLER687]

Agreed. The interviewer should not have asked an ballerina of Misty’s stature to perform a ballet move then comment on her on past experience as 14 year old! Jeez!

[@useringgoogling1910]

If you are watching it, my dear, I so miss you!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ L

[@roseela1191]

Hey what happen in NYC lately?

[@ian_r125]

Why would that be newsworthy for a British audience?

[@public.public]

@@ian_r125 The internet has no nationality. It is international.

[@ian_r125]

@@public.public But the news itself is only directed at a British audience.

[@mareerogers364]

Its an interview, not a performance. How dare you ask Misty to perform!

[@clandeszipp4564]

She's so brave!

[@public.public]

Yes she fights in the trenches against Putin's invading war criminals... errrr

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

They love to Twerk, but they don't love to work.

[@eddiebaby22]

She's awesome

[@CLNPG]

I will always respect and be thankful, to Misty Copeland, for disproving the negative stereotypes of Black Woman. Black Women can, be graceful ,feminine, and Beautiful.

[@kiaaurora]

@CLNPG She’s not disproving anything. She’s a horrible ballet dancer that should have never gotten the title of prima. If she were white she’d be stuck in corps de ballet. The only thing that promoting her prima did was to send message that black women can’t dance classical ballet and we just need to accept them for inclusion and diversity. She damaged the reputation of black women

[@LoredanaC-g7v]

BBC- please stop trying to get amazing women to focus on the negative - like our bodies. How many times do you have to mention that? “How are you coping” with the fact that did not ask her one positive, uplifting, inspiring question? L

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

[@jimcourt9164]

Who ??? Just more BBC fementric nonsense

[@HopInTheCoupe]

yeah i have no idea why this made the news or deserved a 5 minute video

[@littlerichie874]

Boy, the misogynist are out in force today.

[@primalcritters]

I was wondering the same thing and I'm american. And I'm sorry to say it, but Misty Copeland was not even the best dancer. She was more of a PR move. She's a lovely lady don't get me wrong beautiful lovely lady, but this is all ridiculous

[@lacigreystone621]

​​@@primalcritters You were "wondering the same thing" yet you know enough of the ballet world, who her competitors were, and how she wasn't the best dancer.... Lol, make it make sense 😂

[@Tan92lfc]

American accent

[@littlerichie874]

Well, she is an American. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@coolcat6103]

[@thetreasuregarden.creates]
