Complete Record: Rhythmetron: Dance Theater of Harlem with Arthur Mitchell. Arthur Mitchell, the first African-American to become a permanent member of a major ballet company, created this dance company as an outlet for black ballet talent, although all races were welcome. At first we see him demonstrating ballet techniques to children and later, members of his company performing sections of Fete Noire, Biosfera, and Rhythmetron, which he choreographed. Ballerinas in leotards.
