Dance Theatre of Harlem: The ballet revolution hits Paris

After four decades away from French stages, the Dance Theatre of Harlem is back in Paris – and making history once again. On arts24, Eve Jackson sits down with dancers Alexandra Hutchinson and Lindsey Donnell as they bring the company’s groundbreaking legacy to the Palais des Congrès de Paris. Born in 1969 in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination, the company was founded on a belief: ballet belongs to everyone.
