Founded by Tina Ramirez in 1970, the Ballet Hispanico of New York has become one of the country's leading Hispanic-American professional companies. The institution now incorporates the dance company, a student apprentice company, a choreographer's workshop program and a school of dance. Since 1970, the Ballet Hispanico has performed original choreographic works for more than one million people in 26 states, Italy, France, Venezuela and the Virgin Islands. The company has commissioned more than 40 new works by 21 choreographers, including Geoffrey Holder, Talley Beatty, Anna Sokolow and Vicente Nebrada. They have undertaken more than 20 residencies (incorporating workshops, demonstrations and concerts) at summer festivals and schools throughout the country. The Ballet Hispanico School of Dance's professional training program trains more than 1,000 students, some of whom have gone on to appear on Broadway, in films, and with contemporary dance companies such as Alvin Ailey, Maria Benitez and the Cleveland Ballet. Dances the company has performed in the past are: Vicente Nebrada's "Bernarda," taken from Garcia Lorca's play about two sisters in love with the same man, and Talley Beatty's "Recuerdo de Campo Amor," a work which Jennifer Dunning of the New York Times has called "...one of the Ballet Hispanico's prettiest. Dance after dance rushes by in this seamlessly staged work." Tickets are available at the UCSD Box Office (534-4559) and from TicketMaster outlets for $15 general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for students. This program is brought to San Diego by the UCSD University Events Office. (January 24, 1989).

PRESS KIT 2018-2019 SEASON Shelby Colona and Chris Bloom in CARMEN.maquia | Photo by Marius Fiskum/ Northern Lights Festival MISSION & HISTORY Ballet Hispánico, America’s leading Latino dance organization, has been bringing individuals and communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through dance for nearly 50 years. Whether dancing on stage, in school, or in the street, Ballet Hispánico creates a space where few institutions are breaking ground. The organization’s founder, National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez, sought to give voice to the Hispanic experience and break through stereotypes. Today, Ballet Hispánico is led by Eduardo Vilaro, an acclaimed choreographer and former member of the Company, whose vision of social equity, cultural identity, and quality arts education for all drives its programs. Ballet Hispánico, a role model in and for the Latino community, is inspiring creativity and social awareness in our neighborhoods and across the country by providing access to arts education.

Family-Friendly Programming Helps Dance Organizations Attract Fans and See What’S Beyond the Box Office
http://danceusa.org/ejournal/2017/02/28/family-friendly-programming-helps-dance-organizations-attract-fans Family-Friendly Programming Helps Dance Organizations Attract Fans and See What’s Beyond the Box Office Friday, March 10, 2017 – By Steve Sucato The Wallace Foundation Provides Solid Models for Attracting Families Ballet Hispanico Performances for Young People Program brings professional dance to school audiences nationwide. Photo credit: Christopher Duggan The last in a series of ten case studies by The Wallace Foundation, Converting Family Into Fans (2016) by Bob Harlow and Cindy Cox Roman explores how The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco worked to attract families of all backgrounds and build the next generation of museum supporters. The study describes how the museum convened focus groups to better understand the needs of families with young children, designed programs and exhibitions to meet those needs, offered family discounts and entered into community partnerships to build awareness of the museum’s offerings. And although the museum sought to attract families, it did not want to become a children’s museum. To maintain its overall profile, the study says it took extra efforts to balance the needs of children and adults. In doing so, it worked to manage parents’ expectations, created spaces for children to work on activities and trained its staff to draw families to areas most appropriate for children. Those efforts, along with moving into a larger space, say Harlow and Roman, resulted in a nearly nine-fold increase in family visitors over seven years. They suggest that the museum’s successes relied in part on a nuanced understanding of its target audiences, mutually beneficial partnerships with schools and libraries and careful evaluation and refinement of engagement strategies.

BALLET HISPÁNICO to Perform at JACOB's PILLOW DANCE FESTIVAL July 26 – 30, 2017
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Michelle Tabnick, (646) 765-4773, [email protected] BALLET HISPÁNICO to perform at JACOB'S PILLOW DANCE FESTIVAL July 26 – 30, 2017 New York, NY – Ballet Hispánico will perform at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival at the Ted Shawn Theater, 358 George Carter Road, Becket, MA 01223, from July 26-30, 2017 with performances Wednesday-Saturday at 8pm; Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2pm. Tickets are $45-78 and are available at www.jacobspillow.org/events/ballet-hispanico/. Ballet Hispánico brings captivating style, crisp technique, and charismatic bravado to the Ted Shawn Theatre. “The versatile Ballet Hispánico dancers are exquisite” (The Washington Post). Ballet Hispánico offers the thrilling diversity of Latino culture—a fusion of classical, Latin, and contemporary dance. The program features the Pillow-commissioned and flamenco- inspired Línea Recta by Colombian-Belgian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, set to Spanish guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel. Other works include Eduardo Vilaro’s Danzón, which features a contemporary take on the national dance of Cuba, and El Beso by award-winning Spanish choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano. Línea Recta (2016) Choreography by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa From one of today’s most sought-after choreographers comes a powerful and resonant work that explores an intriguing aspect of flamenco dance: the conspicuous absence of physical partnering. While maintaining the integrity and hallmark passion of the genre, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa imagines an original and explosive movement language premised upon the theme of partnership and performed to live flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel. Línea Recta came to fruition through Ballet Hispánico’s Instituto Coreográfico, an innovative choreography lab program for Latino dance makers.

Performing Artists and Choreographers of the Wake Forest Dance Festival 2018
PERFORMING ARTISTS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS OF THE WAKE FOREST DANCE FESTIVAL 2018 JOSÉ LIMÓN (Founder of the José Limón Dance Company/Choreographer, 1908-1972) electrified the world with his dynamic masculine dancing and dramatic choreography. One of the 20th century’s most important and influential dance makers, he spent his career pioneering a new art form and fighting for its recognition. Born in Culiacán, Mexico in 1908, he moved to California in 1915, and in 1928 came to New York where he saw his first dance program. Limón enrolled in Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman’s dance school and performed in several of their works from 1930 to 1940. In 1946, with Doris Humphrey as Artistic Director, Limón formed his own company. His company was a major force of 20th century (and now 21st century) dance.,distinguishing itself as the first dance group to tour internationally under the auspices of the State Department and the first modern dance company to perform at Lincoln Center in New York, as well as performing twice at The White House. Thematically, José Limón possessed a social awareness that transcended distinct groups to address how we all search for commonality, earning him a special place in American culture. With their arresting visual clarity, theatricality, and rhythmic and musical life, his works continue to influence the evolution of the art form more than 50 years after his passing. The José Limón Dance Foundation, encompassing the Company and the educational and licensing Institute, was awarded a 2008 National Medal of the Arts, the nation’s highest honor for artistic excellence.
