New York, United States

On January 8, 1971, Dance Theatre of Harlem made its official New York City debut at the Guggenheim Museum.

“The Guggenheim performance was incredible. I was sitting behind Mrs. Gimbel, watching her face. She had her silver top cane and hat on. I was leaning from side to side over her shoulder trying to see her expressions and the performance. She seemed to definitely be enjoying herself.”
Carol Liebman, supporter and friend of DTH.

“I remember sitting down after the performance at the Guggenheim and having a happy cry. After that we knew that it was all going to work.”

Walter Raines, DTH Principal Dancer.
