TRAHC has its own Youtube spot on the Web now. And the folks there posted four clips of the Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble performing a week ago in front of the Downtown Post Office. Here’s a couple clips of DTH’s fun performance. .

Texarkana will help the Dance Theatre of Harlem celebrate its 40th anniversary when the ensemble dance crew makes a 7:30 p.m. stop at the Perot Theatre here on Saturday, April 4, in the midst of a seven-week tour. The show closes out the season for the Texarkana Regional Arts Center. Founded by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook, the historic dance ensemble is now under the direction of Keith Saunders. When I spoke with him, Saunders said the school and dance company’s main work had in recent years been devoted to education in the New York City area. Now the ensemble is hitting the road as part of its mission. 

On Friday, April 3, at noon in front of the downtown Post Office, the company will give a free preview show. It’s a good chance to see some incredible dancers from many diverse backgrounds for just the right price. 

The Saturday show also features accomplished pianist Vadim Rubinskly. It’s also an interactive show for the audience with Saunders talking about the night’s dances and relating the history of the Dance Theatre of Harlem as the dancers perform through the evening.
