Dance Theatre of Harlem 2018

..Dance Archive, African Archive, Brazilian Archive, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Giving, Harlem, New York City Center, Puerto Rican / April 4, 2018 by Editors

Dance Theatre of Harlem is the world’s first Black Classical Ballet company.


Dance Theatre of Harlem

Dance Theatre of Harlem is a Contemporary Ballet company with a touring company and a ballet school that does a lot of educational outreach.

The Company was founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook. Mitchell was the first Black male dancer in the New York City Ballet. George Balanchine was a padrino (godfather). After many respected years of performing around the world, Dance Theatre fell on hard times and stopped performing for almost a decade, although the school carried on.

The performing Company was reborn in 2013. In 2017 New York Times dance critic Brian Seibert wrote, “this beloved company has found its footing…It’s a Ballet company, and a good one again.”

Today Dance Theatre of Harlem is led by Ballet Masters Keith Saunders  and Kellye Saunders. Robert Garland is Resident Choreographer. His Return (1999) is one of the Company’s most popular choreographies. All three leaders worked most of their careers as Dance Theatre of Harlem dancers.

Of course, American Latin is Black and Dance Theatre of Harlem has some amazing Latin dancers.

The Company will match you in Ballet, Grand Jeté to Grand Jeté, but has an extra spark. African spirit with Classical technique is electric.

They tell the stories of who we were, who we are, and who we can be.
