Misty Copeland Q&A
1. Favourite piece of non-ballet clothing you own?
- Leather Jacket
Why?
- It's classic and timeless

- Matcha Green Tea Latte
3. Favourite cafe?☕️
- Beechers in NYC
4. If you could sit down to drinks/dinner with one person living or dead who would it be and why?
- Dave Chapelle. I'm often asked this question often and my answer has evolved over time. But I think Dave's voice is so important right now. He's a friend of mine, but I'd love to have a drink with him now in particular, because this moment we're in is so critical for black people.
5. Do you have any skills or surprising talents? (aside from ballet obviously)

7. Best meal you’ve ever had?
