Ballet Hispánico is a "home base" for Latinx talent: "It's so miraculous to have this organization"

Ballet Hispánico, the largest Latinx cultural arts organization in America, has been a renowned training ground for top-tier dancers for over 50 years. 

The school, located in New York City, welcomes children as young as 2 and serves as a sanctuary for dancers who have historically faced marginalization in the predominantly White world of classical dance. It has left an indelible mark on the dance world, training accomplished dancers like Jennifer Lopez.

Recently, the cultural powerhouse was named one of America's Cultural Treasures by the Ford Foundation.
