Misty Copeland first came to the general public’s attention in 2009 when she appeared in Prince’s video Crimson and Clover. Then a soloist and nine year member of American Ballet Theatre, Copeland received a phone call one morning “I was asked if Prince could have my cell number…I was literally still waking up. ‘What? Prince who?'” The next day she headed to Los Angeles for the video shoot. 123814c28f1abe15d0a3ba5bd96842b8

Prince was a longtime fan of ballet, and in 2011 Copeland accompanied him on tour in 2011. Copeland appeared on select dates on the Welcome 2 America Tour where she blended her classical ballet foundations with improvisation.
