ABOUT BALLET H ISPANICO

Celebrating 40 years of dance and culture, Ballet Hispanico was founded by Tina Ramirez and is recognized as the nation’s preeminent Hispanic-American dance organization. From its grassroots origins as a dance school and community-based performing arts troupe, Ballet Hispanico has grown to become a world class cultural institution. The Company, School of Dance, and Education & Outreach programs serve as catalysts for cultural dialogue and are the vehicles through which Ballet Hispanico celebrates and shares the dynamic aesthetics of the Hispanic diaspora with all communities.

Today, Ballet Hispanico remains dedicated to continuing and deepening its mission through the artistic leadership of Eduardo Vilaro, a former Ballet Hispanico Company member, as well as an educator and choreographer. Under his leadership, the organization continues to explore and preserve Hispanic cultures through dance. The Ballet Hispanico Company has performed its unique blending of dance styles, music, and Latino cultures for an audience of over two million throughout the United States, Latin America, and Europe. The repertory consists of 82 commissions by master choreographers such as Sergio Trujillo, Talley Beatty, and Vicente Nebrada, as well as young talents such as Andrea Miller and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. The dancers are “highly individualistic performers who can shift easily from ballet and modern to a whole range of Latin styles.” – Hedy Weiss, The Chicago Tribune.
