Dance Theatre of Harlem is a ballet company and school of the allied arts founded in Harlem, New York City, USA in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook. Its Dancing Through Barriers Ensemble continues to do outreach throughout the US.[1]

Karel Shook was the first teacher and ballet master of the Dutch National Ballet, from where he returned to the United States as co-director of the Dance Theatre of Harlem. Milton Rosenstock served as the company's music director from 1981-1992.

The Dance Theatre of Harlem School offers training to more than 1,000 young people annually with a community program open to any child who wants to study dance. Its program is called Dancing Through Barriers. It accepts pre-school children up to senior citizens.

The school offers specializations in children’s movement, European ballet, choreography, and musicology.

The Dance Theatre of Harlem now has a Pre-Professional Residecy program at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. for dancers ages 8 to 18. If accepted, the students meet every Saturday, October through April and work with DTH resident choreographer, Robert Garland. The program includes four levels from beginner to advanced for both ladies and gentleman of the DC metro area. In April, the program culminates with a performance on the Kennedy Center's Concert Hall stage as a part of the Millenum Stage series.
