Ruby is excited to see a real ballet — and best of all, it's a performance of The Nutcracker starring her idol, ballerina Misty Copeland! As she and her sister Jasmine get ready to watch the curtain rise, Ruby talks about Copeland's life and career: her late start on ballet lessons at the age of 13, her stunning rise to fame, and her historic role as the American Ballet Theatre's first African American principal dancer.
