On Pointe Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Taylor Swift was proclaimed Artist of the Decade at the American Music Awards last night. As she sang her hit Lover, Misty Copeland and Craig Hall performed a duet around the grand piano. Craig Hall looked terrific, especially given that he retired from NYCB three years ago. I did not know he was still performing. Taylor gave them a shout out during her acceptance speech and later Misty presented an award with Ben Platt. Link to comment
dirac Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Many thanks for the post, On Pointe. I did not watch. Nice exposure for Copeland and Hall. Link to comment
On Pointe Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Misty Copeland takes a lot of heat for appearances like this, but visibility is important. More people saw two black ballet dancers on the AMAs than will see stage performances in a year. Link to comment
Helene Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 From me, she gets . So does Craig Hall. He danced after my time in NYC, but I did get to see him on several of my trips back. Link to comment
