The purest ballerinas! Thank you DToH.

Thank you! Despite the fact that covid has long passed, these are the only free Horton classes I can find anywhere. I am very appreciative 🙏🏽

fantastic

Doing this in 2024. Very needed. 🙏🏾

Thank you for preserving.

Still a joy in 2024!

Absolutely beautiful

Thank you! I ran out of money for Horton class atm, so this is a wonderful gift!

hello.. dexter morgan..

If this happened in '71, why did Michaela DePrince also need to fight to wear matching skin tone tights? She danced with them in 2012.

I just learned of Stephanie Dabney's passing in 2022. She was the quintessential "Firebird" that I've seen several times. RIP

Hello Daphne, I really miss doing ballet classes are you teaching at DTH now? Thank You. ❤♥

4 years later, still thank you :)

Beautiful book!! The Swans of Harlem by Karen Valby. Beautiful ballerinas!! Brilliant lives! Beautiful spirits❤

I had a friend who was with DTH in the 80's I sued to go to City center every night I saw Virginia Johnson Stephanie Dabney so many others, I danced with NYC ballet but I loved DTH in some ways more, I loved Stephanie's portrayal of Firebird more the] any other. I loved Virginia Johnson in general.

You move so beautifully! This class is the perfect way to start the day. I look forward to my mornings with you :)

Oh my GOD. BEAUTIFUL.

So beautiful. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Rest in Power. You are missed.

This is awesome but, Can't see your feet with skirt

I used this video to teach my son to strengthen and lengthen He is a born dancer but very stiff body from autism I hope you’ll make more free learning video ! Thank you

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Arthur Mitchell. It was at the California African American Museum. The museum featured Dance Theatre of Harlem. The exhibit and history displayed was breath taking. It was awesome to see history and a phenomenal teacher,dancer and choreographer standing before me on stage. I was taken aback. I was truly humbled by his presence.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you for sharing.😊

Take a bow…❤ that was a beautiful interview..yes with all your grace and beauty, take a much deserved bow❤DTH

So beautiful ❤❤❤

Flying to see this just because she did samba on point followed by the Aunt Viv!

I so love the advocacy of this video. It not only commemorates Mr. M's tenacious vision to take the art of ballet further, but it also lifts up an understanding of the extra task that DTH dancers went through sitting in the hallways during breaks or off time, coloring their shoes. Even when it could be done by the costume shop, they had to know how to do it, especially for their pointe shoes, because a pair of ballet slippers might need to be changed out at any time. There are lots of things I am always pointing out to others about the dozens of ways that DTH innovatively broke barriers. But, it is most definitely the credit that Mr. M and DTH deserve for having started the trend of true flesh color tights and shoes. Thank you for putting this story on film so fully.

Wonderful!

Its so great to see this performance..just wish there were dancer credits.

Peace and Cosmos greetings to all and I think to all all the blessings of life.

just loved it...beautiful
