YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPioneering ballerina Misty Copeland has launched her own foundation. The first initiative of The Misty Copeland Foundation is called Be Bold. "It's really an opportunity to give young people in underrepresented and under-resourced communities an opportunity to experience the joy of ballet — making it affordable and accessible, which you don't often get with such an elite art form," Copeland said. Copeland knows all too well the power of these opportunities. She was first introduced to ballet through a free class at a Boys and Girls Club near where she grew up in San Pedro, California, when she was 13. "It was there where I was introduced to this world and I had no idea that I was going to have so many obstacles along the way," Copeland said. "I was the only Black woman at American Ballet Theatre for the first decade of my career."
