Dance Theatre of Harlem Reviews
It was okay. I think more technique was needed.
I think there is a need for "YOUNGER" dancers. The dramatization of the roles is way over acted. There needs to be more concintration on the technical part and less on the "ACTING". This will enable to be rise to the level of the other classical ballet companies.
An interesting, varied program!
Dance Theatre of Harlem, founded by Arthur Mitchell AND George Balanchine, is a first rate ballet company and this dvd offers a nice, varied sample of their large body of work, only a small portion of which is available on video(please see my review for "Fall River Legend" for more information on DTH). "Troy Game" and "The Beloved" are exquisitely choreographed modern dance pieces and "John Henry" is a light hearted folk piece choreographed by Arthur Mitchell and the input of the dancers themselves(this bit of information comes from what cast members have told me). The DTH dancers are all clasically trained(in those days by Arthur Mitchell and George Balanchine himself) and this is quite evident in their dancing. This production was done in Denmark and is absolutely first rate in quality, from set design to music.
