Ballet and Book Fun

Manchester, NH, December 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- For the budding dancers and story lovers in your family, a picture book reading and dance demonstration will be held on Sunday, January 3rd at 12 noon, 1 pm and 2 pm when the New Hampshire School of Ballet under the leadership of Jennifer Beauvais-Rienert brings its ballerinas to the Manchester, NH Barnes & Noble. The picture book, Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig, is the latest release from Cedar Crest Books and will be read by a ballerina from the New Hampshire School of Ballet. As an added treat, the children’s story author, David Ira Rottenberg, will be on hand to 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 Manchester Barnes & Noble. Be sure to bring your cameras!
