Jane Lantz's Reviews > The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History

What a thrilling enchanting read. The story of these remarkable women is finally being told. I read it quickly over course of three days, but was constantly sidetracked googling away in search of pictures of the women, clips of the dances and the recorded interviews mentioned. Ms, Valby has written a very thorough, enjoyable account, she has helped bring the reality of the dance world and lives of these “forgotten” black ballerinas to the light of day.
