“Working on the follow-up to ‘Bunheads’ has been such a joy, taking me back to the studio where my own ballet journey began," Copeland said in a statement Wednesday. “Revisiting these characters feels personal, reflecting the community that shaped me as a dancer and person. Through the ballet of Don Quixote, we explore resilience, compassion, and the power of friendship, values that defined my early years.”
Copeland's other books include “Life in Motion” and “Black Ballerinas: My Journey to Our Legacy.”
