In addition to being a highly anticipated homecoming for the former child star of San Pedro Ballet, Copeland's renditions of the "pas de trois" and dance of the "four swans" will codify her recently elevated position as the first black woman in the history of ABT to ascend to the level of soloist. Thank you, twitter.com/negrophile, for the article.
