Dance Theatre of Harlem Show Tickets
See the dance company that’s been around since the civil rights movement and get your Dance Theatre of Harlem tickets today. The company was founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook. Mitchell made history in 1955 by becoming the first black principal dancer at New York City Ballet. He had been in Brazil on a commission from the government to assist with the founding of the National Ballet of Brazil but decided to return to the United States to try to make a difference in his community. He wanted to teach ballet classes and create an artistic haven for dancers of all colors.
Mitchell began by teaching classes in a converted garage where he left the door open so passersby could look in and see what was happening inside. The dress code was relaxed in order to help and encourage young men to dance even though they didn’t have the correct attire. The company grew and continued growing, becoming a pioneer all over the dance community. Through massive outreach programs in Harlem and overseas, the Dance Theatre of Harlem was able to spread the art of ballet all over the world. Purchase your Dance Theatre of Harlem tickets now and enjoy a performance by this wonderful ballet company.
Mitchell has since stepped down as artistic director but the role has been taken over by Virginia Johnson, who had danced with the company for over 25 years and had an international career of 40 years. The Dance Theatre of Harlem isn’t just a ballet company; it is proof that, even in times of struggle, injustice, and frustration, that something as beautiful and insignificant as a pair of ballet shoes can take root and grow.
