Misty Copeland is on fire. Just days after she became the first black ballerina to be promoted to principal dancer at the American Ballet Theater, Copeland, a TIME 100 honoree, announced she’ll be dancing the role of Ivy in On the Town on Broadway. “I was contacted by them and they actually wanted me to go in pretty quickly, and it was all just ‘oh my gosh, this is not something I ever thought I would do,'” Copeland told TIME of the opportunity to dance the role on Broadway.
