How Cuba Produces Some of the Best Ballet Dancers in the World by Noël Duan December 14, 2015 9:01 PM
http://news.yahoo.com/how-cuba-produces-some-of-the-best-ballet-dancers-020100947.html How Cuba Produces Some of the Best Ballet Dancers in the World By Noël Duan December 14, 2015 9:01 PM Recent graduates of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba School performing at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana in February 2015. (Photo: Getty Images) This story is part of a weeklong Yahoo series marking one year since the opening of relations between the United States and Cuba. Cuba is well known for many forms of dance, from the mambo and the tango to salsa, the cha- cha and the rumba. But only ballet enthusiasts know that the dance form is one of the country’s biggest cultural exports. In Cuba, ballet is just as popular as baseball, a sport where players from the Cuban national team regularly defect to the major leagues in the United States. Unlike in the United States, where ballet is generally considered highbrow art and Misty Copeland is the only ballerina with a household name, the Cuban government funds ballet training and subsidizes tickets to ballet performances. “Taxi drivers know who the principal dancers are,” Lester Tomé, a dance professor at Smith College and former dance critic in Cuba and Chile, tells Yahoo Beauty. Like Cuban baseball players, Cuban ballet dancers have made international marks around the world, from Xiomara Reyes, the recently retired principal dancer at New York City’s American Ballet Theatre to London’s English National Ballet ballet master Loipa Araújo, regarded as one of the “four jewels of Cuban ballet.” In September 2005, Erika Kinetz wrote in the New York Times that “training, especially Cuban training, has been a key driver of the Latinization of ballet,” an important note, considering that European ballet companies dominated the dance world for decades.

Casteel, president and CEO of WFCO. “Despite messages that she did not fit the mold of a traditional ballerina, she persevered and has become a symbol of hope, possibility, and perseverance for women everywhere. We believe all girls and women have the right to feel hopeful about their futures and there’s no one better than Misty to look to for inspiration.” Recent highlights from Misty Copeland’s career include: Soaring to new heights as the first African American female principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre Debuting on Broadway as Ivy Smith/Miss Turnstiles in

Misty Copeland
Misty Copeland Beginning ballet at 13 is considered late. However, there are some dancers who will defy the odds. Such is the case with Misty Copeland. Misty Danielle Copeland was born on September 10, 1982 in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in San Pedro, California. She lived with her single mother, along with her five siblings. Her childhood was unstable. At times, her mom fell on hard financial times and lived in a motel. Misty’s talents were first realized when she participated on the drill team in Middle school. Her coach recognized Misty’s raw talents. She was encouraged to take ballet classes at the local Boys & Girls club. Misty’s gift of dance captured the attention of dance instructor, Cynthia Bradley. She was then enrolled in an intensive dance program at the San Pedro Ballet School. Due to an intense schedule, Misty would be given permission by her mom to live with the Bradley family. This move would allow Misty to be trained at a higher level. At 15, Misty won the Los Angeles Music Center’s Spotlight Award. During that summer, she accepted a full scholarship into the intensive summer program at the San Francisco Ballet. A custody dispute between the Bradley’s and her mom had Misty returning home. In 2000, Misty won a full scholarship to American Ballet Theater’s (ABT) intensive summer program. In the same year, she was named ABT’s National Coca-Cola Scholar. She was invited to join the ABT studio in New York City. During this time, she would find herself immersed in a new world of cattiness, highly competitive, emaciated white dancers.
