Misty Copeland Instagram - Last night was a moment I’ll carry with me forever. After 25 years with American Ballet Theatre, I took my final bow surrounded by the company and community that have shaped my life and career. I’m deeply honored to continue my connection to ABT as a member of the Board of Trustees—supporting the next generation of dancers and storytellers who will lead this art form forward. And possibly most special of all, this was the first time my son, Jackson, saw me dance on stage.
Misty Copeland Instagram - Love looking back on this memory from the start of my career 🩰❤️ @itsenpointe
Misty Copeland Instagram - A few months ago, I stepped off the stage after my final bow with @abtofficial, closing one chapter and unknowingly preparing for the next. Not too long after that, I had hip replacement surgery. Since then, I’ve been focused on healing — physically, mentally, and patiently. These were my first few days: learning to walk again, resting, and letting my body do the work. Recovery isn’t glamorous, but every small step matters. 🩰💪

Misty Copeland Instagram - Recovery, start to now 🩰💪🏾

Since my hip replacement in December, it’s been a journey of patience, small wins, and learning to trust my body again. From first steps with support to walking on my own, every phase has mattered.

Healing isn’t linear but it’s built on consistency, support, and resilience. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come.

I’m deeply grateful for the incredible outpouring of love, encouragement, and support that has carried me through every step of this journey.

Misty Copeland Instagram - Ten years since being promoted to Principal Dancer with @abtofficial. A decade of pushing boundaries, honoring those who came before me, and dancing for every little girl who didn’t see herself in this world until she did.

Misty Copeland Instagram - After 25 years with @abtofficial, I'll be taking my final bow this fall. 

In a new interview with @nytmag, I reflect on my career, my legacy, and what comes next. Thank you for giving me the space to thoughtfully look back on my career through the highs and the lows. And although I'll be saying farewell to the stage, I'll always be committed to opening doors, creating space, and making ballet a place where everyone belongs ♥️

Misty Copeland Instagram - What an honor to have my pancaked pointe shoes in the @smithsonian 🩰 

Did you know Black and Brown dancers will pancake their shoes (usually with over the counter foundation) to match their skin color? 

It’s customary in ballet to create a long line from your leg to your shoe, however the traditional “European pink” shoes aren’t the right color for many Black and Brown ballerinas. 

Only recently have companies begun to provide colors of all shades but there is always room for more inclusivity! Sign my petition at the link in bio for Apple to provide more shades of the pointe shoe emoji 🩰

Misty Copeland - 205.1K Likes - A few months ago, I stepped off the stage after my final bow with @abtofficial, closing one chapter and unknowingly preparing for the next. Not too long after that, I had hip replacement surgery. Since then, I’ve been focused on healing — physically, mentally, and patiently. These were my first few days: learning to walk again, resting, and letting my body do the work. Recovery isn’t glamorous, but every small step matters. 🩰💪

Caption : A few months ago, I stepped off the stage after my final bow with @abtofficial, closing one chapter and unknowingly preparing for the next. Not too long after that, I had hip replacement surgery. Since then, I’ve been focused on healing — physically, mentally, and patiently. These were my first few days: learning to walk again, resting, and letting my body do the work. Recovery isn’t glamorous, but every small step matters. 🩰💪

Misty Copeland - 109.7K Likes - Recovery, start to now 🩰💪🏾

Since my hip replacement in December, it’s been a journey of patience, small wins, and learning to trust my body again. From first steps with support to walking on my own, every phase has mattered.

Healing isn’t linear but it’s built on consistency, support, and resilience. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come.

I’m deeply grateful for the incredible outpouring of love, encouragement, and support that has carried me through every step of this journey.

Misty Copeland - 65.8K Likes - What an honor to have my pancaked pointe shoes in the @smithsonian 🩰 

Did you know Black and Brown dancers will pancake their shoes (usually with over the counter foundation) to match their skin color? 

It’s customary in ballet to create a long line from your leg to your shoe, however the traditional “European pink” shoes aren’t the right color for many Black and Brown ballerinas. 

Only recently have companies begun to provide colors of all shades but there is always room for more inclusivity! Sign my petition at the link in bio for Apple to provide more shades of the pointe shoe emoji 🩰
