Two photos side-by-side. On the left, Misty Copeland splits her legs in a sauté with her arms in high arabesque. She wears a long, couture gray gown. On the right, Nia Sioux kicks both legs in the air (with one tucked into passé) with one arm lifted and the other reaching down to the floor, using her flat palm for support. She wears a short black dress. Their respective initials (MC and NS) partially cover each photo.
