Experience the vibrant artistry and breathtaking performance of Ballet Hispánico New York, America’s leading Latino dance company and one of the nation’s most celebrated cultural institutions at GLAZER HALL. Founded in 1970 by Tina Ramirez, Ballet Hispánico blends classical ballet, modern dance and Latin traditions to create powerful performances that celebrate heritage, challenge perceptions and inspire audiences worldwide.
Unlike traditional companies that specialize in a single style, Ballet Hispánico’s core identity relies on a hybrid technique. Their dancers are trained to seamlessly shift between rigorous classical ballet, contemporary dance, flamenco, salsa, rumba, and Afro-Cuban rhythms without compromising the technical integrity of any single genre.
The GLAZER HALL program features three compelling contemporary works:
Otra Vez, Otra Vez, Otra Vez (Again, Again, Again) by Stephanie Martinez explores the boundaries between classical ballet, contemporary and Spanish dance. Inspired by Pablo Picasso’s The Old Guitarist, the work reflects on the cycles of life and the fleeting connections between people.
Línea Recta by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa reimagines flamenco through an explosive movement language centered on partnership and the genre’s signature passion, performed to flamenco guitar.
Trança by Cassi Abranches explores individuality and community through the ancestral art of braiding, drawing on Brazil’s cultural traditions to create a living tapestry of movement, identity and connection.
