She soon proved a prodigy: within three months of her first class she was dancing en pointe, in just over a year she was performing professionally. In 2015, she became the first African-American woman appointed principal dancer at the prestigious American Ballet Theatre in the 75 years of its existence. In Copeland's own words: \u003cem\u003e\"The path to your success is not as fixed and inflexible as you think.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424248742124,"sku":"9783958298927","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783958298927.jpg?v=1774768789"},{"product_id":"henry-leutwyler-hi-there-by-henry-leutwyler-9783958295346","title":"Henry Leutwyler: Hi there!","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo as we peer into Frank Sinatra's (1915–98) private pocket phone book from what today seems like the quaintness of the analogue 1970s, we can reliably know Sinatra's circle and speculate on the meaning of those relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe over 100 names and numbers here include direct lines to Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Spiro Agnew, Barry Goldwater, and other important governmental figures.
