Ballet Hispánico New York Unveils Spring 2026 Tour Schedule

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.
