## Transcript

After more than a decade of hosting his own late night show, Jimmy Kimmel has plenty of cred in the entertainment industry. But there's one thing he should probably leave off his resume, ballet. Isn't this good though? Oh, no. This is what you guys were Doing. [ LAUGH ] Yeah. Jimmy Kimmel Live came to Brooklyn, Kimmel's hometown. And Kimmel and his pal, Guillermo, met up with professional ballerina Misty Copeland for some lessons. Copeland is the principle dancer for American Ballet Theater and the first African American to hold the The spot. So in the ballet world, she's a pretty big deal. And she's used to working with professionals, not two middle- aged late night personalities in tights.

Ballet was born in Italy more than 600 years ago, and today it died. But being a professional, she kept a straight face come show time, which is impressive considering the pink tutus.
