AT THE FOREFRONT OF AMERICAN DANCE
For more than half a century, Ballet Hispánico New York has been a major force in American dance. Founded in 1970 by National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez, Ballet Hispánico New York grew from a vision to celebrate the beauty of Latino cultures through dance into the nation’s leading American Latino dance company and the largest cultural institution of its kind in the United States.
