This beautifully illustrated biography collective highlights black ballerinas from early 20th century to present day. Each of these ballerinas forged the path for today's black dancers and have inspired generations of dance. Each two page biography shares some biographical information on the ballerina and how she inspired Misty Copeland in her own dance journey. Coming away from this book, I have a great appreciation of the rich dance history of this country. I wish this book would have been wrapped up better in the end, but overall, it's a beautiful collective and would make a wonderful gift for the dancer in your life.
