The Dance Theatre of Harlem is the first African-American classical ballet company. They performed "A Home in the Sky" on Sesame Street in Episode 3320 (1995), introduced by their founder, Arthur Mitchell.
In the same episode, the troupe gave a five part performance of Bird Lake featuring Big Bird and joined by Tarah, Snuffy, Ruthie, and others. These scenes were later reused as inserts.
The group also appeared in an insert that season, demonstrating none, some and all. (First: Episode 3360)
