From its modest beginnings in the 1960s in a Harlem church basement, to its meteoric rise to international fame, the Dance Theatre of Harlem ignited the world with one simple, still-revolutionary statement: All can do ballet. Here, for the first time, is the definitive portrait of the one-of-a-kind community dance company whose enduring principle continues to inspire. With exclusive backstage stories and unprecedented access to archives, Dance Theatre of Harlem is a striking chronicle of the company' s history, its daily workings, and the visionaries who made its legacy.
