Ballerinas to Read Children's Book and Perform at Princeton Barnes & Noble for Ballet Benefit May 15, 2010

A perfect day of ballet fun for the budding dancers and story lovers in your family will be held on May 15th, 2010 from 11 AM to 2 PM when American Repertory Ballet’s Princeton Ballet School brings some of its ballerinas to perform and read at the Barnes & Noble in Princeton, New Jersey. Inspired by a new ballet picture book, Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig, the ballerinas will present in store a full range of dance activities, including mini dance demonstrations and performances. As an added treat, David Ira Rottenberg will read his children’s story, Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig and answer questions and sign copies.
 
Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig tells the tale of two friends, Gwendolyn and Omar, who have big dreams. Gwendolyn longs to dance ballet, and Omar wants to join the football team. There is just one problem— they’re both pigs! For any adult or child who wishes to see and learn about ballet, as well as meet real ballerinas and a children story author, it is only necessary to come to the free presentation at the Princeton Barnes & Noble. Be sure to bring your cameras!
