<div>Though I was never SERIOUS-serious about it, I danced for eleven years of my childhood—a very casual education in ballet, jazz, modern, and tap— and I do enjoy learning about interesting, creative people. I hadn't heard of the Dance Theatre of Harlem, founded during the Civil Rights Movement, and Karen Valby does an admirable job introducing us to its founding dancers, showing us their lives within the company, what everyone got up to after, and the legacy they leave today. It doesn't shy away from the difficulties of being a dancer, the racism faced by everyone involved, or the ever-fluctuating demands of their director, Arthur Mitchell. Still, we see so much of the joy and the worldwide accomplishment. I'm glad I read this.<br><br>On a side note (and a bit inside baseball): I see that this is one of the titles that Lisa Lucas acquired for Pantheon before she was bafflingly laid off. It's a shame that the rich guys at the top of the ecosystem can't see the value in her work.</div>
