Support DTH

Donors and benefactors are our partners in providing access to classical dance and the allied arts for all.

Our highest priority is to ensure our students’ and the community’s ability to participate is never in jeopardy. The School employs 60 arts professionals (dancers, choreographers, and master teachers) in addition to support staff, all of whom work together to bring world-class training to a community that would otherwise not have access on this level.

Over the past few years, we have learned ever better ways to make the dollars we have do more. Faced with shrinking national arts budgets and a challenging economic climate, our fiscal discipline has allowed us to continue providing as many essential programs and services to the community as ever—as well as the financial support needed by the students and artists who benefit from these services.

Dance Theatre of Harlem is committed now more than ever to helping young people stretch to their fullest creative potential and preparing them to meet the challenges of life with poise and confidence.
