Ballet Hispánico New York
A returning classic since their first Jacob’s Pillow performance in 1984, Ballet Hispánico New York offers a mixed program sure to delight dance fans seeking “vibrant and richly textured” performances (The New York Times).
At the Pillow this summer, the company will perform a mixed repertory program that will include Linea Recta, its stunning signature work by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, commissioned by the Pillow for its 85th Anniversary in 2017.
About the Company
Since its founding by Tina Ramirez in the wake of the civil rights movement on New York’s Upper West Side, Ballet Hispánico New York has been celebrated for its bold repertory and exceptional training programs for over 50 years, becoming the nation’s leading Latino dance company, and the largest cultural institution of its kind in the United States.
Under the dynamic guidance of Artistic Director and CEO Eduardo Vilaro, the company has deepened its repertory to include renowned choreographers like Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, and Ronald K. Brown, among others. The company has commissioned over 100 original works, performed on prestigious international stages, and inspired generations through performances, education, and community engagement. The company has garnered widespread acclaim, with The New York Times noting: “Many companies pay lip service to nurturing talent, but Ballet Hispánico has devoted significant resources and care to cultivating emerging artists.”
“There are few dance companies as versatile as Ballet Hispánico.”
