Gwendolyn the Graceful Pig Program

Enjoy a perfect day of ballet fun for the budding dancers and story lovers in your family on Saturday, March 31 at 11:00 a.m. when ballerinas from A Performing Arts Academy take center stage at the Swampscott Public Library.

Author David Ira Rottenberg will read his picture book, "Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig," while the dancers perform the story. As an added treat, a mini-movement lesson will be offered to the children in the audience after the performance.

Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig tells the tale of Gwendolyn and Omar – two best friends who have big dreams. Gwendolyn longs to dance ballet and Omar wants to join the football team. There is just one problem – they are both pigs!
