Dance Theatre of Harlem
is a ballet company and school of the allied arts founded in Harlem, New York City, USA in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook. The company has not performed since 2004, however its Dancing Through Barriers Ensemble continues to do so. [1]
Karel Shook was the first teacher and ballet master of the Dutch National Ballet, from where he returned to the United States as co-director of the Dance Theatre of Harlem.
The Dance Theatre of Harlem School offers training to more than 1,000 young people annually with a community program open to any child who wants to study dance. Its program is called Dancing Through Barriers
. It accepts pre-school children up to senior citizens.
The school offers specializations in children’s movement, European ballet, choreography, and musicology.
The Dance Theatre of Harlem now has a program in Washington, D.C. for dancers to audition. If accepted the students work with Robert Garland. They have three levels: advanced beginners, intermediate pre-pointe, and advanced young ladies and men.
