PlusWorld-class review of ballet and dance.
There are few dance companies as versatile as Ballet Hispánico. The company, which is the largest Latine/x/Hispanic cultural organization in the United States, prides itself on its far-reaching celebration of the Latinx diaspora with a school that offers training in flamenco, salsa, and Afro-Caribbean, in addition to ballet, jazz, and more. While many major ballet and modern companies are branching out from their specialized styles to include commissioned work in a range of genres, it is rare to find a company like Ballet Hispánico, whose dancers, thanks to their training, can truly execute a diversity of genres comfortably and without compromising the integrity of each style.
