Misty Copeland and Yo-Yo Ma's Magical Number on The Late Show Is a Must See

The first African-American principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland, continued to back up her prestigious rank with a recent breathtaking piece choreographed by Marcelo Gomes. On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the dancer performed alongside renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma as he played "Courante" from Bach's Cello Suite No. 2. The Under Armour-sponsored athlete truly stole the show with more grace and effortlessness than we thought possible. Prepare to want to sign up for ballet classes after watching Misty sweep the stage.
