Dance Theatre of Harlem by Judy Tyrus
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.
Judy Tyrus danced with Dance Theatre of Harlem for twenty-two years and was a principal ballerina for the Oakland Ballet. Since retiring from dance, she's continued her work in the industry as an archivist, exhibition specialist, social media manager, photographer, and professor of dance. She currently works as a consultant for Dance Theatre of Harlem and is the co-founder of ChromaDiverse, Inc., a non-profit corporation which promotes cultural diversity in the performing arts. She resides in San Francisco, California.
