Dance Theatre of Harlem

The 15-member, multi-ethnic company performs a forward-thinking repertoire that includes treasured classics, neoclassical works by George Balanchine and Artistic Director, Robert Garland, as well as innovative contemporary works that use the language of ballet to celebrate Arthur Mitchell’s belief that ballet belongs to everyone. Through performances, community engagement, and arts education, the Company carries forward Dance Theatre of Harlem’s message of empowerment through the arts for all.

For the second summer on Martha’s Vineyard, The Yard partners with these world-renowned dancers to bring dance across the island, from the studios to the streets. Dance lovers of all ages can join Dancing In The Streets, an accessible community workshop and pop-up performance event that blends ballet inspired warm-ups with Motown and more, culminating in a Soul Train-inspired celebration that’s sure to get even novices on their feet.
