Why You Should Never, Ever Listen When Someone Says ‘You Weren’t Born To Do That’

Most people probably pass by Misa Kuranaga without realizing who, exactly, they just overlooked. At 5’1 with a delicate build, Misa blends into the crowded Boston populace.

However.

This woman, who hails from Osaka, Japan and probably weighs less than most American sixth graders, is a principal dancer for the Boston Ballet. And while her stature and size may defy the standards of “ballet beauty,” she is an international success story in the ballet world.

Despite her physical stature and small frame, Misa was able to change her destiny. In partnership with SK-II prestige skin care, we had the chance to chat with this beautiful ballerina about life, legs, and what it means to truly take control of your own future.

Watch the video below that captures Misa’s story:
