““LIFT demonstrates the power and importance of dance. The beauty and complexity in each of the stories told show that hope, resilience, and dance can be the lifeblood that saves lives. I’m proud – and honored – to be a part of a creative team that understands why LIFT not only deserves to be celebrated in this way, but that it’s important to uplift the names, faces and journeys whose lives have changed as a result of this program.”

— Misty Copeland, Executive Producer and Principal Advisor
