Our Mission

The Misty Copeland Foundation was established in 2021 with the mission to:

  • Provide opportunities for children in under-resourced communities to engage their bodies, hearts, and minds in learning through dance, especially ballet.
  • Advance the art form of ballet through greater diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Pursue social justice through arts activism.
