In light of an upcoming exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) on Edgar Degas, Misty Copeland recreates some of Degas' most famous ballet paintings in a photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar. She has been the subject of much fanfare since she was appointed the principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre and it is all well deserved. Misty is the first African-American woman to hold the title.
