In partnership with the US Embassy and marking its debut in the Arab world, Ballet Hispánico, the largest Hispanic cultural organization in the United States and one of America’s Cultural Treasures, unveils its three main programs: the Company, School of Dance, and Community Arts Partnerships, fostering unity in celebrating the multifaceted Hispanic diasporas.

Ballet Hispánico’s New York City headquarters provide the physical home and cultural heart for Latine dance in the United States. It is a space that initiates new inclusive cultural conversations and explores the intersectionality of Latine cultures.

Ballet Hispánico welcomes and serves all, breaking stereotypes and celebrating the beauty and diversity of Hispanic cultures through dance.
