Recommended for Grades 5-12

Join us on a guided journey through Latinx dance and culture! This interactive, fun-filled exploration features excerpts of the Ballet Hispánico repertoire narrated by their artistic leadership. Music, cultural connections, choreography insights, and history come together to deepen the students’ experience of dance. They are introduced to world-class choreographers and cultural contexts while learning about Latinx icons such as Celia Cruz and Tito Puente. The event includes a live dance session and a Q&A with trained teaching artists.

“We want every experience with Ballet Hispánico to be a transformative experience. It doesn’t matter where you come from. You should be able to look at Ballet Hispánico and say, ‘I see myself in that.’ ” —Ballet Hispánico Education Director
