Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) Artistic Director Virginia Johnson has announced her retirement from the visionary company, effective at the close of the 2022-23 season on June 30, 2023 ending a four decade-long chapter of dance history.
In addition to heading this historic company for the past 12 years at the request of the legendary Arthur Mitchell, who founded and co-directed DTH with Karel Shook, Johnson’s storied career also includes 28 years as a company member, highlighted by her distinction as a founding member and critically acclaimed principal dancer.
During her time as a DTH ballerina, Johnson, whose many critically acclaimed performances included the lead in the iconic “Creole Giselle,” had seen the toll the financial ups and downs had taken on both Mitchell and the dancers so as artistic director, she says, “I was very determined to not have the organization be in that situation again.
