This definitive history is a celebration of the first African-American ballet company, from its 1960s origins in a Harlem basement, to the performances, community engagement, and education message of empowerment through the arts for all which the Company continues to carry forward today. Illustrated with hundreds of never before seen photos from the founding during the Civil Rights Movement by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook through to today, this visual history tells the story that fueled Dance Theatre of Harlem’s growth into one of the most influential and revolutionary American ballet companies of the last five decades.
With exclusive backstage stories from its legendary dancers and staff, and unprecedented access to its archives, Dance Theatre of Harlem is a striking chronicle of the company's amazing history, its fascinating daily workings, and the visionaries who made its legacy. Here you’ll discover how the company’s founders—African-American maestro Arthur Mitchell of George Balanchine’s New York City Ballet, and Nordic-American Karel Shook of The Dutch National Ballet--created timeless works that challenged Eurocentric mainstream ballet head-on—and used new techniques to examine ongoing issues of power, beauty, myth, and the ever-changing definition of art itself.
Gaining prominence in the 1970s and 80s with a succession of triumphs—including its spectacular season at the Metropolitan Opera House—the company also gained fans and supporters that included Nelson Mandela, Stevie Wonder, Cicely Tyson, Misty Copeland, Jessye Norman, and six American presidents. Dance Theatre of Harlem details this momentous era as well as the company's difficult years, its impressive recovery as it partnered with new media's most brilliant creators—and, in the wake of its 50th anniversary, amid a global pandemic, its evolution into a worldwide virtual performance space.
Alive with stunning photographs, including many from the legendary Marbeth, this incomparable book is a must-have for any lover of dance, art, culture, or history.

Compact & soft cap
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
Great fall/winter hat if you’re looking for something that’s not too bulky. I wanted for a winter hat that I could just keep in my inside pocket of my winter jacket - problem was the pocket was not very big. I had another knit cap that just did not fit in there. The Danish Endurance beanie fits the bill! Being so thin, it is not my warmest beanie – but gets the job done! It also feels so soft. I bought another in a different color!
The hat arrived with a few creases in it. You could steam it, but don’t really notice any wrinkles when you put it on. I wish they made it in a darker gray/charcoal.

Soft but flimsy
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
Its soft and warmth is ok, but it feels very thin and a bit flimsy. The knit at the top looks particulary fragile. I think for the price this is still ok value but I do not expected it to last a long time.

Cashmere but far too thin
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
The beanie feels soft and genuinely made of cashmere, but the fabric is surprisingly thin — almost transparent when held to the light. It lacks the warmth and structure you’d normally expect from a cashmere item.
The design and packaging are pleasant, but the overall impression is disappointing. It’s comfortable to touch yet too delicate to provide real protection against the cold.

Cool hat.
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
This is a nice little hat. Even though it’s really thin, it does seem to keep my head warm. Really haven’t tried it out in the wind yet. But saying that you could put another hat on top of it.
