School Placement
The Dance Theatre of Harlem School provides high-quality classical ballet and dance training to children and youth from ages 3 to 18, ensuring that students of diverse backgrounds feel inspired and supported. In our building, students feel physically and emotionally safe and are encouraged to explore their greatest potential as growing artists. Classical ballet classes follow the carefully calibrated DTH curriculum and students also study select other disciplines that serve to broaden their developmental capacities.
