Phoenix Public Library's Summer StoryBook Series

Over the summer, families across Phoenix were invited to tumble down the rabbit hole with Convergence Ballet Company as they presented enchanting excerpts from Alice in Wonderland. Part of the Phoenix Public Library’s Summer Storybook Series, these free performances bring beloved literature to life through the magic of dance—and invite young readers to join in the fun.

Dates for the new series will be announced in 2026!

Each event blends story time and ballet in a lively, interactive format. Children will join dancers for a read-along that incorporates movement, exploring how a cat might slink or a caterpillar might wiggle through dance. Participants will learn simple steps, use their imaginations, and engage with the story before watching a live performance featuring the whimsical characters of Alice in Wonderland in full costume.

The dancers of Convergence Ballet bring energy, creativity, and a love of storytelling to every library visit. With backgrounds in both ballet and teaching, they’re passionate about making dance fun and accessible for all ages—especially young audiences experiencing live performance for the first time.
