Ballet Hispánico is the nation’s renowned Latino dance organization and one of America’s cultural treasures. For 50 years, Ballet Hispánico has been bringing communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through innovative dance performances, transformative dance training and enduring community engagement experiences.

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.

For its Gogue Center appearance, Ballet Hispánico will perform CARMEN.maquia, a Picasso-inspired, contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic. The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco.

“Ballet Hispánico, at its core, is a masterful storyteller, not only in the dances it creates, but also in the programs it presents.”
