Ballet Hispanico
Featured In
Elegant whirls of silk and ethereal wisps of tulle are just the metaphorical start of the 8-count at the historical Ballet Hispánico. Founded in 1970 by the innovative Tina Ramirez, who just recently passed this month, this organization has provided an artistic sanctuary for more than 50 years through high-energy dance productions (melding traditional practices with contemporary movement and music), instructional programs and training, and initiatives to uplift the community. In addition to catching shows by the world-renowned company at their UWS headquarters, on Saturday, October 2 from 12 pm–4 pm, Ballet Hispánico is hosting the fifth edition of their A La Calle Block Party, which includes performances and music, free dance classes, and bites from local vendors.
