When Misty Copeland describes her childhood in Life in Motion she constantly talks about the music that she listened to. After all it was her love for music that led her to dance. When she listened to music she naturally wanted to move and later choreographed small dance routines in her room and even tried out for the middle school's step team, which later led her to ballet.
