In an effort to build an audience for Dance Theatre of Harlem, Mitchell used the lecture-demonstrations to educate audiences about ballet and also expose them to quality dancing and choreography. These lecture-demonstrations also termed “Arts Exposure,” were performed in libraries, churches and schools.

“Mr. Mitchell conducted the first lecture demonstration in tights and the kids laughed so hard when he came onstage that the next performance he had on slacks. I have not seen him in tights for a lecture demonstration since.”

Virginia Johnson, DTH Artistic Director
