Born in New York City on March 27, 1934, he began his dance training at New York City's High School of (Jit Performing Arts, where he was the flrsl male student to win the coveted Annual Dance Award. Mitchell continued his classical training when he received a full scholarship to Hie School of American Ballet. In 1955, he was the first African-American male lo become a permanent member of a major ballet company whtn he joined the New York City Ballet. During his f^ftccn-year career with the New York City Ballet, Mitchell rose quickly to the rank of Principal Dancer and electrified audiences with his performances in a broad spectrum of roles. Mitchell is best known for two roles choreographed especially for him by the late George Balanchine; the "Pas de Deux" from Agon and the lighthearted "Puck" in A Midsumtnef Night's Dream. He also performed in nightclubs, on Broadway, in film, and on television. Mitchell was also a popular guest artist in the United States and abroad. In 1966, Mitchell was asked to organize the American Negro Dance Company, which represented the United Slates at the first World Festival of Negro A.i'ts in Senegal. In the 1967, at the request of the United Slates International Association, he founded the National Ballet Company of BiaidJ in Rio de Janeiro. Upon learning of the death of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, Mitchell was inspired tn provide children — especially those living in Harlem — with the opportunity lu sludy dance. During the summer of l'.)6S, he began leaching classes in a remodeled garage. In 196'J, with financial assistance from Mrs. Alva B. OJimbel and the Ford Foundation, Mitchell founded Dance Theatre of Harlem with his mentor and ballet instructor Karel Shook. As a professional dance company and a school of the allied arts, the continued expansion of Dance The.Hrc of Harlem iillo a multi-cultural institution attracts professional dancers and students from around the worlrl, Arthur Mitchell adds to the legacy every day as Dance Theatre of Harlem's Artistic Director.
