For 50 years, Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) has demonstrated how the power of art can transform lives by providing access to ballet for all.

While continuing to build on the Founders’ vision, artistic director Virginia Johnson, a founding member and former prima ballerina, has brought new energy to DTH since her appointment in 2010. Having been in residency at Chautauqua in Spring of 2021, DTH will now return for their debut performance in the Chautauqua Amphitheater.
