Yes!...Black Ballet History...And Our 'Supreme-Leading Pioneer'...
...are 'So Hurricane Big!'
We now remember, and say the name...
... Arthur Mitchell!
The Universe was 'Additionally Blessed'
when Arthur Mitchell was born! He paid
his dues and became excellent and even
peerless in his craft! He claimed the
directorships at several companies.When
the news broke that he had opened his
own school, Dance Theatre of Harlem,
hundreds of happy, eager, and bouncing
students registered within the first month,
and 'forever history' was set! He was
recognized as a MacArthur Fellow,
and received a United States Medal
of Arts Award, but more importantly,
he cemented his 'Kingly Status' in
the Hearts and Minds of millions
of 'The Prim and Proper Way'
afficionados!
"Do It Like King Arthur Mitchell
Would Do it!"
Mr. Mitchell also happens to have a mid-upper-lip
Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)
called "The Hurricane!"
