Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) has been a cornerstone of American ballet since its founding in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook. The company blends classical technique with contemporary, urban sensibilities to make ballet accessible to all audiences. Led by Robert Garland since 2023, DTH continues a post-modern, urban neoclassical aesthetic that resonates with diverse communities.
