This is truly a wonderful creation. The music choice couldn’t be more beautiful; the Great Father Himself dixit: “The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul." There’s not better way to honor God than that of making beautiful, meaningful, highest caliber art available to all folks. This is the type of standards and role models a community needs, instead of the sad mediocrity displayed ad nauseam in mainstream media nowadays. Mr. Mitchell, you truly are a legend and your work is a milestone for the enrichment of your community. As for the refreshment of the soul, Mr. Garland delightfully combined the demanding academics of classical ballet with modern touches of urban style and some of the most beautiful and universal music ever written, capturing with each step all the harmony and joy of Bach’s work. The background, the costumes, the stellar camera work, what a stunning combination!!! The performers are magnificent on their own and as an ensemble. The synchronicity is perfect, and I am specially awestruck at Mr. Brockington’s exquisite lines. His limbs go for days, his fourth is stunning, his poise is noble and virile, his jumps are feline and his landings weightless; such a charismatic and beautiful dancer. My two great passions art-wise are Bach’s music and Ballet. This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces ever created combining the magnificence of both. Thank you a million times for this ❤️

I have never been to Harlem. This video was made couple of months ago but this is the first time I’ve seen it. These dancers are awesome, just awesome. They remind us that there is joy in the world even though we may not see it right in front of us. I don’t care what color you are this dance is for all of us in the human race.

This is a beautiful pipece of dance. And one detail has really made me sit up and assess the world again. Ballet slippers have been presented typically as pink, to suit white poeple's skin tone, I saw the black skin tone slippers and felt so glad and emotional. Thank you!

There are only a couple of dance shoe manufacturers who have begun producing shoes to match black skin tones; up until that point, black dancers have had to use make-up to colour their pink shoes to match their skin tone - it's called pancaking. www.theguardian.com/stage/2019/apr/01/pointe-shoes-black-ballet-ballerinas-dancers

It's actually been a serious rule in Dance Theater of Harlem's company and school that soft and point shoes as well as tights be matched to the dancers skin tone. It's great that they now have the option of the covering of the shoe being correct without having to dye or pancake them.

@Lingonberry Love all dancers have to pancake their shoes based on the color of their tights. the entire thing with pointe shoes is that when performing, the shoes match the tights in order to elongate the legs. it isn't racist bc the origins of why practice tights and shoes are pink was a time when there were no people of color in ballet. it was just something that stuck to the ballet world through time and people are beginning to realize that there's more things that can change to be inclusive since there are more aspects to ballet than just classical uniformity. having skin colored shoes for poc is more inclusive and convenient IF they regularly are wearing tights to mimic their skin color. but if a black or white dancer were dancing blue or green tights, they would need to pancake their shoes to be blue or green. and if a white dancer were wearing tan tights, they would need to pancake their shoes to match that tan. pancaking will always be a thing, but what people should be more focused on is regular availability for wider ranges of shades in TIGHTS because tights are what the pancaking is based off of. if you went to a dance store they'd probably only have pink, black, and tan tights.

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Arthur Mitchell. It was at the California African American Museum. The museum featured Dance Theatre of Harlem. The exhibit and history displayed was breath taking. It was awesome to see history and a phenomenal teacher,dancer and choreographer standing before me on stage. I was taken aback. I was truly humbled by his presence.

Unbelievably beautiful. The strength it takes to be a ballet dancer surpasses that of many athletic endeavors. I do hope that one day though, dancers of all skin color can unote across the stage. Where studios stop looking for a specific ..well...look. As a biracial individual, I lived..breathed dance and until this day I still do. I wanted to practice ballet, but unfortunately there was so much prejudice where I was living, I never got the chance until I was 13. Until that point I only did tap, Broadway and modern. By the time I had the chance to take ballet ..I felt so alientated, and so different than the other girls. In a time of puberty...so I gave it up. And I really regret that. It's nice to see there are safe spaces for all cultures to express what is in their soul, art of all sorts belongs to *everyone*
