[@shinobukocho4564]

[@Ohyea432.]

[@arelyreyes7465]

[@brandonbrassington872]

lmao same

[@glassman8030]

lmao

[@landonvacca9899]

yessir

[@leesclark2911]

I cried, what a powerful statement. When you do it (whatever you desire/dream), that"s when people believe, not so much before.

[@abundantlife4758]

What a great role model for girls and women everyone. To everyone watching, don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something if be something. Live your dream. The best form of revenge is success!!!

[@keimiloutlaw2121]

Misty copeland has put the doubters and negatives too shame, as she continues on with God's talent that he has given her. I again admire her and I embrace her quotes and staying true to my talents like she has presented, shown and perform every day of my life.

[@linsane8628]

You saying that God gave her the talent she has. Dismisses literally all the hard work SHE put in herself to be where she is at... The irony that you think your statement isn't the same as others who put women down. smh Women are capable of much more than what society tries to make us believe, you continue to do so with the belief that they are only able to do so with "God". News Alert. He's not real.

[@NEWTeenRunaway0X0X]

She is a genius, my hero, I love her!

[@gwendolynfish2102]

She is an absolute phenomenon!

[@juliehyatt7549]

This is a powerful ad. And I love Misty Copeland!

[@franceswalker2627]

Go, Misty, go!

[@NEWTeenRunaway0X0X]

I love you Misty! You inspire everyone in the best way, thank you 🙏

[@lindaroach1]

[@fiebkefamily8713]

[@fiebkefamily8713]

I love her

[@dionne4927]

I love this woman’s spirit! ♥️

[@MsXizan]

Maria Tallchief was also a ballerina of color. She was an Osage.

[@AlmostWorthless]

But did anyone tell her she had the wrong body? I doubt Balanchine did. 😉

[@veronicaduran6435]

ICONIC

[@shamikamitchell4848]

WHO tells a kid "Your body is suitable to be a Las Vegas dancer"?! The GALL....

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

Black girls are stereotyped as being highly sexualized. That’s why.

[@mercedesgo4519]

It's very normal unfortunately in the ballet world to hear these comments... very degrading, also as if ballet were the only serious dance form.. I come from ballet and I have been told to start doing musicals, like in an insulting way.. but yeah not everyone is like this, a change is necessary though!

[@katehu7194]

No one actually. A recent NY Times article stated this is just a generic rejection letter to ballerinas. It was never specific to Misty. "You'll never be good enough" is a common put down for cutthroat markets.

[@noellesnow186]

"Your body is suitable to be a Las Vegas dancer" Just adding insult to injury in an already painful rejection letter. Uncalled for and so insulting for any young, hopeful ballerina.

[@nicolaablett7790]

OMG PHENOMONAL

[@Falzeee]

How?????? Its a black top spinning...

[@crystalevans2123]

On pointe? Not easy.

[@crystalevans2123]

She is now a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre.

[@comolasvacasaltren]

Madre mía el esfuerzo personal y la disciplina que nos muestra esta chica.

[@anniee6616]

her calf muscles have their own zip code

[@jehtmatous7167]

My Favorite. GODMOSTHIGH, GODISGREAT. You Goooooooooooo, Queen!

[@teekay7460]

[@manishasingh6532]

[@lisawilder7626]

breathtaking

[@philippe9194]

WOUAAA! 💯👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@keimiloutlaw2121]

Admire Misty copeland whole heartly.

[@quique7764]

Wait?! Are those rejections letters real or is this just for the ad purposes?

[@Plushy360]

They are real she is actually reading what was said

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

They’re real. They read of them several in parts in order to emphasize the point for the commercial.

[@genetsandjazz]

@@Plushy360 Nope they are not.

[@genetsandjazz]

@@rosalynw.otieno1994 Nope they are not.

[@russianbear26]

WOW JUST WOW!

[@jstekic]

Madame 12 Fouettes,... the greatest ballerina of all the time.

[@v_lena0601]

[@mrcapello]

track id for the second song: young men dead by the black angels

[@vivianasantosb]

better if she looked at the camera at the end but other wise wowow

[@ogenyiuchennanaomi]

❤lt I need you

[@romandimas1783]

Admirable cuerpo, belleza y talento de está mujer.

[@mikamclean6515]

This video was destroyed with the voice over and musical edit. The original is strong and elegant.

[@amyc7342]

what happened to the original??

[@atoosas]

Mika Mclean This is a commercial.

[@eneyavorodecky]

You missed the point.

[@jelanireynolds8403]

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@damienb9496]

intro song ?

[@Falzeee]

Old McDonald Had a Farm

[@phillipayoung10]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@duanekressin2278]

What happened to the old one with the better music the sounds like some high school rock band background stuff

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

It got millions of views and Under Armour pulled it down after a year or so, apparently.

[@jason66801]

Her calves are amazing! 😱 0:33

[@moatef1886]

They’re insane. Her calves are touching when her feet are like 10 inches apart 😂

[@jonj2904]

I wish to me her 1day

[@ericmendenhall2867]

Who the hell is Misty Copeland?

[@DCExpat-ro6es]

She is the first African American woman to become a principal ballerina for the American Ballet Company.

[@susanchristensen9465]

Obviously someone GREAT enough to have this commercial and star in it. One of, if not the BEST ballerinas in the world.

[@ericmendenhall2867]

Never heard of her

[@DCExpat-ro6es]

Now you know her. 😊

[@susanchristensen9465]

Eric Mendenhall well now you have! Maybe cuz you don’t follow ballet? Like I dont follow football or other sports. I did watch a show about her and thing she’s amazing, I don’t follow ballet either but I do think it’s beautiful and extremely difficult to achieve what she has. Therefore, I admire anyone that has to overcome so many obstacles tp become the greatest in their career. How come you were watching her video?

[@pinellafranich6007]

She might not have the right body but she is so attractive and strong.a great lady.a pleasure to watch on stage

[@mikebaker1861]

I absolutely have always loved her calves....Certainley wish I could meet her just 2 get a feel or 2🙂

[@TheOne610]

creepy much?

[@spencerportillo5355]

This is NOT the original music from when the commercial was airing on tv. It was much more impactful than this.

[@BelleVanSchijndel]

Beautiful work by Misty, but couldn't they have afforded to buy her new pointes? This pair was absolutely beyond death; the box was broken!

[@kareno7848]

They do that deliberately.

[@leep3459]

You missed the point. She is pure talent and does not need anything.

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

It’s deliberate.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

Yes, please tell us all how the least racist society in the history of the world (that has made you millions of dollars) and constantly kisses your admittedly gorgeous posterior is racist.

[@AlmostWorthless]

Have you seen how many Black women are principal dancers for major ballet companies? Not many.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

@@AlmostWorthless Yes, that means absolutely nothing. You assume that is racism when more likely it is from a host of other factors, racism being #942 on that list.

[@AlmostWorthless]

@@Mr.MikeBarksdalehow do you know that? Racism has been so prevalent in ballet that shoes in non-pink skin tones are a recent development. Please do some research.

[@phillipayoung10]
