Virginia Johnson spent a total of 40 years with the dance company and inspired many young people to pursue their passion, including choreographer Robert Garland who will be taking her place when she steps down.
Life has come full circle for Garland who was inspired to become a dancer at the age of eight, when he saw a performance by the Dance Theater of Harlem featuring none othere than Johnson.
In 2010 she returned to lead the non-profit organization during some of its darkest days after its professional company had to be disbanded. Flash forward to the 50th anniversary of the company and Garland is leading a class of school kids at Harlem's famed Apollo theater.
