From Mannerly Ballet to Ethnic Processional
The program presented by Dance Theater of Harlem on Tuesday night at Davis Hall at City College was the perfect example of the extraordinary range of ballet the company is presenting during its packed two-week season, which ends on Sunday. A George Balanchine signature piece opened the program, followed by a stylized modern dance trio, an emotion-drenched modern ballet and an exotic foray into ethnic dance and ceremony that brought the cheering audience to its feet. Even more notable was the way the dancers gave full and distinctive value to each style. Balanchines Concerto Barocco evokes the well-mannered, orderly world of Bach, to whose music the work is set. At times the 1941 piece looks like the ballet equivalent of rubbing ones stomach and patting ones head. The choreography demands -- and got -- crisp, sharp footwork and lyrical upper bodies from the women and male partnering that is boldly attentive yet unassertive. The corps of women winds through impossible chainlike combinations at one moment, then melts serenely into a traditional frame for the two lead dancers, who here are complemented by an odd second ballerina.. Jennifer Dunning reviews Dance Theater of Harlem at Davis Hall, City College, in program that includes Concerto Barocco, Dougla, Dialogues and Adagietto No. 5 (M)
BALLET: HARLEM TROUPES GISELLE
DANCE THEATER OF HARLEMS vivid Giselle, staged for the company by Frederic Franklin, offers new insights into the classic, with its transplanting of the story to antebellum Louisiana. And Stephanie Dabney, Donald Williams and Keith Saunders enhanced that freshness with interpretations that were their own when they took over the leads on Saturday afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera House, where the company performs through Saturday. Miss Dabney is one of the companys strongest and most daring technicians, and her believably timid Giselle was a revelation. This Giselle was an endearingly gawky, good little girl. She dances for her mother rather than her fiance, who is called Albert in this production, though there are flashes of impetuous boldness in response to his flirting. Mr. Williams was an elegant Albert, his long line speaking of a world that could never be known by Giselle or her would-be fiance, Hilarion, whom Mr. Saunders played as a rough but lovable innocent.

Dance Theater of Harlem Reasserts the Classical With a Choreographic Pantheon
To see ballets by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Frederick Ashton and Robert Garland in a single dream program is reason enough for rejoicing. But Dance Theater of Harlem followed that newly cast performance on Friday at the New York State Theater with a lavishly theatrical new ballet production paired with a Balanchine signature work on Saturday afternoon, as part of the Lincoln Center Festival. For all the variety, Dance Theater is firmly, graciously classical. The company affectingly reasserted its patrimony with its vital performance of Balanchines Serenade -- with a strong cast led by Andrea Long, Leslie Anne Cardona, Tai Jimenez, Duncan Cooper and Raymond Thielen -- on Friday in this theater where Arthur Mitchell, the companys director, danced so prominently with New York City Ballet..

DANCE: HARLEM TROUPE OFFERS WINGBORNE AND BANDA
DANCE THEATER OF HARLEM is an unusual ballet company. It has, among other things, an unfailing, heightened sense of theater, which made for an evening of glowing dance last Thursday at City Center. Loyce Houltons Wingborne, which received its company premiere, doesnt require much but line, fluidity and utter fearlessness. Yvonne Hall and Lowell Smith had all that as they twined, stretched and balanced through Miss Houltons pas de deux, set to music by Dvorak. A lyrical exercise in Soviet-style partnering, its high lifts, with Miss Hall assuming all sorts of unlikely streamlined contortions, had the audience gasping. Mr. Smiths devoted attention to his ballerina and her intent response were quieter pleasures. Margaret Denis was the cello soloist.
DANCE: LYDIA ABARCA IS BACK
LYDIA ABARCA returned to the Dance Theater of Harlem on Sunday afternoon at City Center, and what a return it was! Miss Abarca, one of the companys first ballerinas, danced the title role in Michel Fokines Scheherazade with indolent passion. Every gesture was a caress, every toss of a head that of a restless feline.

Dance Theater of Harlem saluted Virginia Johnson, its prima ballerina and a dancer with the company since its founding in 1969, in a loving tribute on Sunday afternoon at Davis Hall at City College. It was clear that the company was indeed a family, as its director, Arthur Mitchell, stressed, when the stage filled with early dancers, staff members and choreographers, many of whom had flown in for the occasion. There were tears and laughter as Ms. Johnson reached out, applauding them, after homages by Mr. Mitchell and C. Virginia Fields, the Democratic candidate for Manhattan Borough President. Others paying tribute included the poet Maya Angelou, in a homage read by Lowell Smith, a former partner of Ms. Johnson..
