Misty Copeland was promoted Tuesday to female
principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre, becoming the first
black woman in the company's 75-year history to hold the role.
Copeland, 32, is already arguably the most
famous ballerina in the United States, having been the subject of a TIME
magazine cover and a popular Under Armour ad campaign along with her
high profile position at American Ballet Theatre. She has spent 14 years
there, more than half as a soloist.
