The Dance Theatre of Harlem is Redefining Excellence

A Leap Above the Rest, Harlem’s Visionary Dance Company Breaks Barriers and Inspires.
November 23rd, 2024
The Dance Theatre of Harlem delivers an unforgettable experience that transcends the boundaries of classical ballet. Watching their performance is nothing short of awe-inspiring—a masterful display of technical precision, emotional depth, and cultural storytelling.
This company redefines what ballet can be, blending the elegance and rigor of classical technique with the vibrant energy of contemporary and urban influences. Recent works by choreographers like Robert Garland showcase this beautifully, weaving elements of hip-hop and other modern dance forms into traditional ballet. Set to music by legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, their performances achieve a harmonious balance between the classical and the contemporary, captivating audiences with every movement.
What sets the Dance Theatre of Harlem apart is its ability to integrate cultural narratives into their work. The incorporation of Black and African American movement styles not only highlights their roots but also brings a fresh perspective to the world of ballet. Their dedication to honoring tradition while embracing innovation is evident in every piece they perform.
The company’s history adds depth to their artistry. Founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook, the Dance Theatre of Harlem was born out of a desire to create opportunities for underserved communities, particularly in Harlem. This mission remains at the heart of their work, and it’s inspiring to see how they’ve grown into a multicultural institution with global influence.
