Ballet Hispánico in NYC
This spring, Ballet Hispánico presents MUJERES: Women in Motion, featuring three new works by women shaping the language of dance in the present tense. These choreographic practices—rigorous, experimental, and unapologetically contemporary—affirm the Company’s commitment to inquiry, authorship, and risk. Cassi Abranches offers a distinctly modern choreographic voice that reframes Brazilian cultural memory through contemporary form. Her work does not quote tradition—it transforms it. Drawing from gestures embedded in Brazilian life and craft, she distills them into a rigorous, current movement language shaped by precision, structure, and musical intelligence. Marianela Boán is a foundational figure in experimental dance, whose work has consistently challenged the boundaries between movement, theater, and conceptual art. Emerging from Cuba’s avant-garde dance landscape, Boán rejects stylistic coherence in favor of disruption. Stephanie Martinez makes dances that insist on presence. Her choreography is attentive, deliberate, and unsentimental, driven by a clear understanding of how meaning is generated through rhythm, alignment, and choice.
The opening night of the season is also the Ballet Hispánico 2026 Gala. For more information, visit ballethispanico.org/support/events/2026-gala or email ashaw@ballethispanico.org. Additionally, April 25 will feature Ballet Hispánico’s En Familia / Family Matinee—a joyful, one-hour performance of excerpts from some of the season’s new works alongside a repertory classic. The performance will include narration and interactive moments, hosted by Artistic Director & CEO Eduardo Vilaro. All tickets are $25.
