Artistic Director


APRIL 16 – 19, 2026
Following last year’s sold out season, Dance Theatre of Harlem returns to New York City Center with a dynamic program that celebrates where we’ve been—and where ballet can go next.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Robert Garland, DTH continues to bring our signature bold elegance to the stage, pairing thrilling contemporary works with fresh expressions of the classical tradition. At the heart of it all are our extraordinary Company Artists, whose individuality, artistry, and presence reflect the world we live in and the audiences we serve.
This season, Artistic Director Robert Garland brings together four remarkable works that celebrate where ballet has been, where it is today, and where it can go next. From the Louis XIV and Harlem-inspired grandeur of Garland’s Brahms Variations and the powerful intensity of Nacho Duato‘s Coming Together to the dazzling energy of George Balanchine’s Tarantella, the program showcases the extraordinary range of our dancers. A world premiere by Matthew Rushing and Samantha Figgins explores the journey from grief to healing and the transformative power of hope.
And the celebration doesn’t stop when the curtain comes down. Join us for special pre- and post-performance events, connect with our artists, and experience the joy of coming together through dance.
Whether you have been part of the DTH family for years or are joining us for the first time, there is a place for you.
Four nights. One community. Come Together.
