Presented in collaboration with The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts

Lincoln Center’s free Storytime programming returns at Summer for the City—and, due to continued popular demand, we have scheduled two readings every Wednesday! Curated by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts—which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year—Storytime events feature a children's book reading accompanied by live music, dance, or theater, engaging kids of all ages. As part of Summer for the City’s Brazil Week, the Library for the Performing Arts has invited Brazilian dancer Ingrid Silva to read her children’s book A bailarina que pintava suas sapatilhas, or The Ballerina Who Painted Her Ballet Shoes. The book tells the story of Silva’s journey in ballet, from her childhood in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro to her experience at the Dance Theatre of Harlem in New York, when she became a leading dancer and known worldwide. Silva tells how she faced racial and social prejudice and inspires children to discover themselves through her journey showing that dance is for everyone. Join us for this inspirational Storytime!
