“I'm not super confident in my body, but I am a ballerina, so of course...” — Michaela DePrince Quote

“I'm not super confident in my body, but I am a ballerina, so of course, we tend to have a better figure.”

“I like to share with people I meet my optimism and hope.”

“Sometimes you just need to make a little ripple to open the doors for others.”

“The force for change I represent is of course from being a mixed-race ballerina.”

“Kids are always told that they can be anything that they want. But what if you want to be a ballerina, and you're terrible at ballet? Or what if you're gifted at ballet, but you don't like doing it?”

“Before founding Ballet Beautiful, I was a ballerina with the New York City Ballet.”
