Misty Copeland has been on a mission to bring the beautiful story of “The Nutcracker” to the masses. Fans of the ballerina can see her on the main screen as Copeland stars in Disney’s film, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018). Misty recently spoke of her full-circle moment in which she was cast as a ballerina in the movie.
“This is not something I ever saw in my future,” Copeland admitted. “It’s just incredible to be able to be representing ballet at this level in a movie that’s going to reach so many people for so many generations to come. And the fact that I’m a brown ballerina, as a representation of ballet, is insane.”
