our residencies and partnerships

Based on the success of its original mission to provide Harlem youngsters with the opportunity to study and excel in neoclassical dance, Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) has developed a comprehensive educational and community outreach program entitled Dancing Through Barriers® (DTB®). Utilizing both teaching and performing artists as educators and role models, DTB brings a variety of activities to schools and community centers around New York City. These activities can be booked as a one time service, as a series, or as a residency over a specified period of time. Activities include but are not limited to video assemblies, lecture-demonstrations, performances, movement classes, workshops, and short or long-term residencies. Programs are developed in collaboration with school staff and administrators and are presented in alignment with the NYC Department of Education’s Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts/Dance Pre-K-12. DTB has conducted successful residencies not only in New York City, but also in Detroit, Baltimore, Miami, and Washington DC, where we have partnered with the Kennedy Center in offering a long-term pre-professional residency for the past 15 years.
