Life in Motion by Misty Copeland Book Summary

A bestselling and prizewinning memoir by African American ballerina Misty Copeland, Life in Motion is the vividly told story of her journey to the world-class American Ballet Theatre—and delves into the harrowing family conflicts that nearly drove her away from ballet as a thirteen-year-old prodigy.

Determination meets dance in this New York Times bestselling memoir by the history-making ballerina Misty Copeland, recounting the story of her journey to become the first African-American principal ballerina at the prestigious American Ballet Theatre. When she first placed her hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no one expected the undersized, underprivileged, and anxious thirteen-year-old to become one of America’s most groundbreaking dancers . A true prodigy, she was attempting in months roles that take most dancers years to master. But when Misty became caught between the control and comfort she found in the world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life, she had to choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the courage to be one of a kind.

With an insider’s passion, Misty opens a window into the life of an artist who lives life center stage, from behind the scenes at her first classes to her triumphant roles in some of the world’s most iconic ballets. A sensational memoir as “sensitive” and “clear-eyed” (The Washington Post) as her dancing, Life in Motion is a story of passion, identity and grace for anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.

Amazing. I've been a fan of ballet my whole life. I was a fan especially during the Baryshnikov days. So wonderful to read about someone who helped change ballet for the better. Loved it.

Loved this autobiography!!!. It's refreshing to read an autobiography that doesn't bash people whose choices didn't yield the best results. It reminds me that parents aren't perfect: parents do the best the can with what they have at that time. In this instance, a child (whose childhood circumstances aren't the best) becomes successful, living her best life. I believe this is a good book for black and brown girls to read (regardless of their interest in ballet) that your circumstances don't keep you from achieving goals. You have to be willing to work hard, no matter what.

Misty Copeland. Misty Copeland is an inspiration to everyone. And, to little, aspiring ballerinas, she is their role model, their fairy queen, and nurturer. Now, she has become a principal dancer with ABT, long overdue, but a great milestone. She is one of the great dancers, for all time. I loved her book, I love her.

Life in Motion. I really enjoyed this book. I read it for my English class book report and I myself am a pointe dancer. You really inspired me to have a lot of determination and never ever give up on your dreams no matter how bad you are feeling. I love you Misty Copeland💕😍👯

Thank you. Loved this book! Misty is a beautiful ballerina! Thank you for sharing your gifts, talents and your story! As the mother of a little brown girl who dances this was a beautiful read! Thank you!

Trilogy. I am not a dancer but I love stories in which the underdog wins. I feel like I know Misty Copeland as a friend after reading this book. She shares so details about her life that leave her image vulnerable, real, & stronger than an unblemished portrayal would have been. I recommend this story for any artist. As an added bonus I am now proud of the way my knees bend backward when I stand.

Sad. How long is this book going to be modifying for? I would like to purchase it.
