FAMU's Lyceum Series will present the Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble on January 27, 2012 in Lee Hall Auditorium.The Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) is a leading dance institution of unparalleled global acclaim. The organization boasts a touring professional ensemble, a community and pre-professional school for young dancers, and an arts-education program that serves the Harlem community and beyond.
The Ensemble, which was formed in the summer of 2008 to carry the social and artistic legacy of Dance Theatre of Harlem to communities that had been previously deprived of the company due to geographic or financial obstacles, was conceived as an extension of DTH’s celebrated Dancing through the Barriers. The Ensemble has a mission of education through the arts as well as artistic excellence consisting of 12 dancers, a ballet master/director, a concert grade pianist, a touring administrative and technical staff.
Since January 2009, the DTH Ensemble has toured in 43 cities and 24 states including the District of Columbia, while servicing a national community of dance lovers and DTH supporters.
