History makers Misty Copeland, Lauren Anderson inspire little

They spoke about confidence and knowing thy self.  They spoke about believing in yourself, embracing your gifts and working hard to perfect your craft.  They spoke about passion, dedication, perseverance and keeping your eyes on the prize, and even though the auditorium was packed wall-to-wall with excited little girls, at times, you could hear a pin drop.  Wearing tutus and tiaras, the girls' eyes were locked on center stage as Misty Copeland and Lauren Anderson spoke about life, love of the arts and the experience of being a brown ballerina.
