Showcasing a powerful vision for ballet in the 21st century, the 18-member, multi-ethnic Dance Theatre of Harlem performs an innovative repertoire that includes both classic and groundbreaking works.
Dance Theatre of Harlem was founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook as a haven for dancers of all colors, especially those in Harlem, Mitchell’s birthplace.
