Misty Copeland:

Misty Copeland, the third African American soloist for the American Ballet Theatre talks about body types and breaking the mold.

At 5'2 and 103 pounds, she is considered a "curvy" ballerina.

We should be reminded that the beauty of dance is in the form and the expression, not any preconceived- or ill conceived- notions about size.

You can pick up her 2013 calendar in stores now and learn more about Ms. Copeland on her official site.
