Who was better in their heyday: Darcey Bussell or Misty Copeland?

Two ballerinas who became household names.

Misty is overrated and only got promoted because she got publicity.

Misty really worked hard to promote herself which was very savvy. It’s not easy for black ballerinas to reach high levels in the industry. She understood how ABT works (they promote dancers with celebrity the highest and fastest). In the process she’s paved the way for others.

PS Darcey was the better dancer though. She was incredible.
