Misty Copeland To Guest Judge On “World Of Dance” For “The Cut” Rounds

I’m so excited on this news. According to Broadway World, the beautiful and talented Misty Copeland will be a Guest Judge on World Of Dance on the July 18th and July 25th episodes. More in detail below….

Ballet dancer extraordinaire Misty Copeland, the first African-American principal ballerina in the history of American Ballet Theatre, will be a guest judge on the July 18 and July 25 episodes of NBC’s new high-rated competition series WORLD OF DANCE.

Copeland will be joining for round three of the competition, “The Cut,” where the competitors face the deepest and most intense cut of the season. More than half of the acts will be sent home, and only the top two acts from each division will move on to the Division Final.

“When judging the best of the best, we knew we needed an all-star guest judge with passion and credibility to mentor these incredible dancers,” said judge/executive producer Jennifer Lopez. “Misty Copeland is at the top of her game and we are so honored that she was able to lend her expertise and experience to the ‘World of Dance’ stage.”
