“There were times that I was not cast in certain roles because I would stand out too much and kind of ruin the aesthetic, especially if it was a performance that was being filmed,” said Misty Copeland, 41, in a CNN Interview.

The late, great Prince changed Misty’s life when he invited her to dance with him on tour for over a year.

Start at any age, even after 30
Be around the wrong people and feel like you’re going nowhere…
Find the right opportunity
And still succeed and be at your peak after 40.
