Misty Copeland Gives Jimmy Kimmel Ballet Lesson
While visiting NYC, Jimmy Kimmel wanted to take in some culture and brush up on his ballet skills. Of course, he only wanted to learn from the best, Misty Copeland, who is the first black principal dancer (the highest rank!) in the incredibly prestigious American Ballet Theatre. Jimmy brought along his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez, both proudly outfitted in pink tutus, tights, and all. Showing off his skills (not to mention his hairy legs and, ahem, more), Jimmy said, "Isn't this good, though?" Misty's priceless response: "Uh, no". Watch the hilarious clip above.
