Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina by Misty Copeland, Charisse Jones

reflective medium-paced

3.75

I have mixed feelings on this and honestly, it might have had to do a bit with the audiobook rather than the actual book but I’m not sure. I really enjoyed learning about Misty’s life and her experiences as ABT. It definitely shows everything she went through to earn her position as soloist and now principle ballerina. That being said, it think the pacing was a little bit more and I think I would have preferred more of the book discussing her actual experiences at ABT than her build up in her ballerina training to get there. At the same time, I’d never want to tell someone how to reflect on their life’s story. I loved the involvement of her friendship with Prince and all the external work she did outside of ABT to bring ballet to the general public. Overall, it made me appreciate her as a person and definitely made me research more into what she’s accomplished since the publication of this book.
