The School

Under the new leadership of School Director, Mercedes Pablos, the Ballet Hispanico School of Dance expands its vision established by Artistic Director Tina Ramirez in 1970, and has forged a reputation among the nation's leading professional training programs, offering a balanced curriculum in classical ballet, modern and Spanish dance - a practice unique among America's dance training institutions. As a result, students receive not only a thorough grounding in the primary techniques required for a successful performing career but also specialized training in the rich and varied dance tradition which, for many, is their cultural heritage.
 
Students may study the Ballet Hispanico aesthetic via the general dance program  or the Pre-Professional track.  Classes are set to live music and held at the Ballet Hispanico School of Dance located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Alumni of the School have gone on to careers in theater (Nancy Ticotin), film (Jennifer Lopez, Leelee Sobieski and Rachel Ticotin) and television (Michael DeLorenzo), as well as with other leading dance companies. Still others are applying the discipline and self-esteem acquired through their dance classes to demanding professions in other fields - business, education, government, law and medicine.
