Unlocking the Stage: What Ballet Taught Me About Access | Mia Jeannopoulos | TEDxMiramar Youth

At just 15 years old, Mia Jeannopoulos is a ballet dancer, nonprofit founder, and fierce advocate for access. In this inspiring TEDx talk, she reveals how ballet shaped her identity—and how the barriers she witnessed pushed her to take action. Through her program Pointe of Possibility, Mia brings free ballet classes, shoes, and instructors directly into Title I schools, proving that talent is universal but opportunity is not. She challenges us to rethink what “the future” really means: it’s not far away—it begins locally, with the choices we make for children right now. “The stage we unlock today determines who gets to stand on it tomorrow.” #TEDx #Access #YouthLeadership #Ballet #Equity #MiaJeannopoulos Youth SpeakerMia Jeannopoulos is a 15-year-old junior and the founder of Pointe of Possibility, a nonprofit bringing free ballet classes to underserved youth.
