Dance Theatre of Harlem Coming to Shea's

Returning to Shea's Buffalo Theatre after more than 30 years, the internationally acclaimed Dance Theatre of Harlem brings us an eclectic evening of theatrical dance. The Dance Theatre of Harlem is set to captivate the Shea's audience on its Main Stage for a one-night only event on October 16 at 8:00 p.m.

The program will include "Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux," a sublimely musical, devilishly difficult set of dances for two that is a delight for dancer and audience alike, and "Coming Together" inspired by a poignant letter from an Attica prison inmate.

The Dance Theatre of Harlem is about using the art form of classical ballet to change people's lives. The Dance Theatre of Harlem's unprecedented success, as a racially diverse company, school and source of arts education was built on creating innovative and bold new forms of artistic expression. Through performances by its internationally acclaimed Company, training in its world-class school, and participation in its multi-faceted arts education program, the Dance Theatre of Harlem has made a difference in the world for 45 years.

As the Dance Theatre of Harlem traverses its fifth decade, it remains committed to the excellence that has sustained it over the years. At the same time, it dedicates itself to reaching new audiences with a message of self-reliance, self-expression, and individual responsibility.

The Dance Theatre of Harlem is presented by Shea's Performing Arts Center. It is sponsored by Thomas & Stacy Beauford and Lawley Insurance. The production is also a part of the Shea's Education Program On-School Time Series, sponsored by Bank Of America and Wegmans.
