Who is the speaker in the poem, The Harlem Dancer?

The speaker of the poem is part of the audience, but seems to express concern and understanding for the dancer in a way that other audience members do not. The speaker remarks that the dancer appears strong and stately to him, implying that it is only his perspective that is portraying her this way. At the end of the poem, the speaker remarks that the dancer's mind appears to be elsewhere, suggesting that he desires to see beyond her body and the objectification the rest of the audience imposes on her.
