Misty Copeland and 31 ballerina pals dance in a mesmerizing video for COVID-19 relief
With so many of her fellow dancers out of work for many months to come, the American Ballet Theatre star launched an initiative to help them make ends meet.
Dance is Misty Copeland’s superpower, and she’s using it to help uplift her fellow dancers. The American Ballet Theatre star enlisted 31 of her ballerina friends to tie up their pointe shoes and raise money for coronavirus relief through her newly launched Swans For Relief. It’s a GoFundMe initiative—in partnership with the Entertainment Industry Foundation and fellow ABT principal dancer Joseph Phillips—with the goal of raising $500,000 to be distributed to the participating ballerinas’ respective companies.
