I had always been proud of my body - its strength and grace enabled me to pursue my passions.
From Misty Copeland
I never thought of myself as special or particularly good at anything. But once I started ballet, suddenly I had a new identity: prodigy.
My curves became an integral part of who I am as a dancer, not something I needed to lose to become one.
Finding ballet was like finding this missing piece of myself.
In the ballet studio, it was such an organized and disciplined environment, like I'd never had in my life. Seeing myself in the mirror, surrounded by the classical music, that's when I started to fall in love with dance.
I was on a path. I was going to become a principal dancer. I never let my mind rest.
When I was dancing, I felt in control and happy. I'm a Virgo, so I really like to be in control.
I think I get almost every piece of clothing that I buy altered and taken in just to fit me exactly the way it should.
