Students in the DTH School at the time, Donald Williams and Patrick King later joined the company.

“Three young boys from Chicago came to the school and I auditioned them in the Ethnic department. They were accepted and offered scholarships, but no one thought where they would live. They were very despondent and faced the prospect of returning to Chicago. I invited them to stay with me. They stayed with me for five years and danced with my own company.”

Marie Brooks, DTH Instructor
