<description>&lt;p&gt;As we work on Season 3 of The Turning, we have something special for you: two episodes featuring Karen Valby, author of &lt;em&gt;The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History. &lt;/em&gt;The book records the largely forgotten stories of five Black ballerinas who changed the art form. Their stories are surprising and vivid and poignant… and totally worth your time if you enjoyed our most recent season of The Turning. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On the first episode, Karen Valby talks with former prima ballerina Lydia Abarca. You can buy &lt;em&gt;The Swans of Harlem&lt;/em&gt; here: &lt;a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/716415/the-swans-of-harlem-by-karen-valby/"&gt;https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/716415/the-swans-of-harlem-by-karen-valby/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener"&gt;omnystudio.com/listener&lt;/a&gt; for privacy information.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
