"The Latin-American experience at last has a voice." - The New York Times
Under the dynamic new artistic leadership of Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispanico reflects, explores, and expands the essence of the diaspora of Latino cultures. 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.
Funded in part by the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts.
