This week, on Conversations on Dance, we are joined by Eduardo Vilaro, Artistic Director of Ballet Hispánico. Eduardo recounts his early years adjusting to New York City life as a Cuban immigrant, what it was like building his first company from the ground up, and how Ballet Hispánico has carved out an identity for itself that is unique in the dance world.
Ballet Hispánico, America's leading Latino dance organization, returns to the Apollo Theater on November 22 & 23 to celebrate the power of the Latina voice with works by all female choreographers. This season includes the world premiere of Anabelle Lopez Ochoa's ‘Triburones,' as well as the return of ‘Nací' by Andrea Miller and Michelle Manzanales' ‘Con Brazos Abiertos.' Tickets begin at $13.50 and are available by phone at (800) 745-3000 or online at www.apollotheater.org.
