Η Μίστι Κόπλαντ, χορεύτρια στο American Ballet Theater, έχει πάνω από 402.000 followers στο Instagram. Πρόκειται για έναν πολύ μεγάλο αριθμό, αν σκεφτεί κανείς ότι διάσημοι αθλητές όπως η Σερένα Γουίλιαμς και ο Μάικλ Φέλπς έχουν 992.000 και 462.000, αντίστοιχα.

Φυσικά, το μπαλέτο είναι το πιο φωτογενές από όλα τα αθλήματα που υπάρχουν, πρόκειται για μία μορφή τέχνης που συνδυάζει την ερμηνεία με τον αθλητισμό και είναι γεμάτη πιρουέτες και πόζες που αν τις «πιάσει» ο φακός, μοιάζουν με πίνακες ή περίτεχνα φτιαγμένα αγάλματα. Το προφίλ της Μίστι είναι γεμάτο από λήψεις πάνω αλλά και έξω από την σκηνή, που ασκεί την τέχνη της. Δεν είναι, όμως, η μόνη μπαλαρίνα που έχει γεμίσει τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης με τέτοιες εντυπωσιακές φωτογραφίες, αφού ο λογαριασμός με το όνομα «Ballerina Project», έχει πάνω από 641.000 followers και οι λάτρεις του χορού (και όχι μόνο) θα μείνουν με το στόμα ανοιχτό με τις εξαιρετικές ικανότητες των χορευτών.
