This Girl is on Fire!

Famed ballerina, Misty Copeland, is one of the women becoming the face of Under Armour. She is the first non-athlete to become a spokeswoman for the sportswear company.

She flexes her ballerina skills that she is known for in the new ad for Under Armour. Under Armour  campaigns are known for  professional athletes flexing their physiques in the brand’s premium sportswear.

The talented dancer signed the contract with the sportswear company to feature her with the sportswear brand and made history as the first woman to be in the largest women’s marketing campaign of all time.

Here is a statement that she said about joining the sports brand:

“Joining the Under Armour family feels like a natural fit, since they have always championed hard work and strong women, in addition to supporting me with innovative performance products that give me an edge in my training, Under Armour will be a great partner to help me inspire women as they find the will to pursue their goals.”

Currently, she is prepping for her debut memoir, LIFE IN MOTION: An Unlikely Ballerina, that will be released on March 04, 2014. Congratulations to this talented diva! Check out some of the photos from the campaign after the jump.
