Many Hues, One Line | Dance Theatre of Harlem Innovates Matching Skin Tone Tights & Shoes

In 1971, Dance Theatre of Harlem gave its very first performance in which every dancer’s tights and shoes matched their unique skin tones. From that moment, ballet would be forever transformed by the innovation of Llanchie Stevenson – a founding DTH Principal Dancer, DTH's Wardrobe Mistress Zelda Wynn and DTH Co-Founder Arthur Mitchell. Featuring appearances by Virginia Johnson - DTH Artistic Director and Founding DTH Principal Dancer Lydia Mitchell - Founding DTH Principal Dancer Alicia Graf Mack - Director, Juilliard Dance Division; former DTH Principal Dancer; Ashley Murphy-Wilson - Company Member, The Washington Ballet; former DTH Principal Dancer Vernon Ross - Former DTH Production Manager To learn more about Dance Theatre of Harlem's history visit https://www.dancetheatreofharlem.org/...
