America's Leading Latinx Dance Organization and One of America's Cultural Treasures
About us
Ballet Hispánico is the nation’s renowned Latinx/e/Hispanic dance organization and one of America’s Cultural Treasures. Ballet Hispánico brings communities together to celebrate and explore Latine/x cultures through innovative dance performances, transformative dance training, and enduring community engagement experiences. Founded in 1970 by National Medal of Arts recipient, Tina Ramírez, the organization emerged during the post-civil rights movement on New York’s Upper West Side, providing a safe haven for primarily Black and Brown Latinx youth seeking artistic sanctuary during New York City’s plight in the 1970s. The need for place, both culturally and artistically, led families to find Ballet Hispánico. The focus on dance as a means to develop working artists, combined with the training, authenticity of voice, and power of representation, fueled the organization’s roots and trajectory. With its strong emphasis on dance, achievement, and public presence, the organization has flourished in its three main programs: its Company, School of Dance, and Community Arts Partnerships. The organization serves as a platform for historically omitted and overlooked artists providing them with increased capacity, voice, and affirmation. Over the past five decades, by leading with Latinx culture at the forefront of performance, education, and advocacy, Ballet Hispánico’s mission is a catalyst of change and possibility for communities throughout our nation.

"As the Artistic Director & CEO of Ballet Hispánico, Eduardo Vilaro has been unapologetic about bringing all parts of himself into the work he does. There’s the Latin American side to his work dedicated to demystifying ballet from its Eurocentric roots and blending it with familiar styles and forms from the Latine cultural landscape as a means of redefining what ballet 'should be.'"

Hello Colleagues! I'm thrilled to be partnering with Ballet Hispánico on this critical search. It's a wonderful opportunity for an incredible arts organization in NYC. Reach out to me for more information!
Ballet Hispánico seeks a Director of Development to provide strategic leadership to a development program that enhances and amplifies a culture of philanthropy. As a member of the organization's Senior Leadership Team, the Director will work with the Chief Managing Director, Artistic Director and CEO, Board of Directors, colleagues, and staff across the organization to develop and implement a comprehensive, ambitious, and innovative fundraising plan that expands support for Ballet Hispánico. The Director of Development will serve as a visible ambassador for Ballet Hispánico and play a key role in securing the organization’s continued success and sustainable future through increased philanthropic support. Ballet Hispánico brings communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through innovative dance productions, transformative dance training, and community engagement. As the largest Latino cultural organization in the United States and one of America’s Cultural Treasures, Ballet Hispánico’s three main programs—the Company, School of Dance, and Community Arts Partnerships—bring together communities to celebrate the ever growing and multifaceted Hispanic diasporas. Ballet Hispánico’s New York City headquarters provide the space and cultural heart for Latinx dance in the United States. No matter their background or identity, Ballet Hispánico welcomes and serves all, breaking stereotypes and celebrating the beauty and diversity of Hispanic cultures through dance.
