“Many companies pay lip service to nurturing talent, but Ballet Hispánico has devoted significant resources and care to cultivating emerging Latino artists. The company hosts two choreographers a year at its spacious, light-filled Upper West Side studios. Each gets two weeks with the company’s dancers, as well as advice from a mentor of his or her choosing and input from a panel of directors, choreographers and teachers.”
– Marina Harss, The New York Times

Step into the world of choreographic genius as Ballet Hispánico unveils the remarkable talent nurtured within its prestigious dance incubator: Instituto Coreográfico, or Choreographic Institute. In this innovative program, emerging Latino choreographers are mentored and supported by Ballet Hispánico’s esteemed panel of directors, choreographers, and teachers. One of Ballet Hispánico’s signature programs, Instituto Coreografico has served eighteen BIPOC artists from different Latinx countries in fourteen years, resulting in the creation of five new works thus far. The program on May 9 is a public sharing of excerpts from a work-in-progress by emerging Mexican choreographer Daniela Uríasas, who was paired with collaborative filmmaker Celeste Lanuza to document the process.
