Members of HPSD's Board of Directors as well as some faculty members recently met with Misty Copeland (middle in red peplum sweater).
Ms. Copeland is one of America's most influential dancers. Among her many achievements is having been named American Ballet Theatre's first African-American female Principal dancer.

She's a wonderful inspiration. and we are so honored to have met her.
