At the height of the Civil Rights movement, Lydia Abarca was a Black prima ballerina with a major international dance company—the Dance Theatre of Harlem, a troupe of women and men who became each other’s chosen family. She was the first Black company ballerina on the cover of Dance magazine, an Essence cover star; she was cast in The Wiz and in a Bob Fosse production on Broadway. She performed in some of ballet’s most iconic works with other trailblazing ballerinas, including the young women who became her closest friends.

Truly Captivating Read, So Good
Revisado: 06-24-24
"The Swans of Harlem" is a remarkable audiobook that offers an in-depth look into the lives of extraordinary women. Their challenges, determination to succeed, and quest to be recognized for their talents are truly inspiring. Each of their stories captivated me, and I gained a newfound appreciation for the arts and the struggles these women endured due to racial discrimination. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially those interested in understanding the true essence of determination. poise, and hard work. Thank you so much for this wonderful book and thank you to the women featured in the book, truly inspiring!!!
