Dance Theater of Harlem, the trailblazing but financially struggling black ballet company, announced yesterday that the philanthropist and business executive Catherine B. Reynolds would become its new chairwoman and that her foundation was pledging a gift of $1 million.
Officials at the institution, which was forced last year to lay off its 44 dancers and temporarily close its landmark school, said they expected Mrs. Reynolds to attract more fund-raisers and signify the ballet company's resurgence. "
