Ballet Hispanico Tickets

It was WONDERFUL The live Afro-Latin Band added a marvelous quality to the dance performance. I was dancing in my seat with the dancers. THE COMBINATION OF DANCE AND LIVE MUSIC WAS FABULOUS.

The ballet hispanico chose 3 acts that all have wonderful music. Unfortunately, as talented as the dancers are the work just wasn't in sync. The timing felt off, like watching a high school regional cheerleader championship fall apart right before your eyes. It didn't have the fluid feel one expects from a ballet. The music was great, but the dancing needed more work.

This evening of dance and music was amazing! The "Tito on Timables" piece captured the drive and energy of Tito Puente's music in the most precise and lyrical way. "Asukar" was a complex and fitting tribute, reflecting the power and the complexity of Celia Cruz's rise to international fame and showcased wonderful selections of historical voices as well as hers. It was a tremendous evening. I truly hope that these pieces will be part of Ballet Hispanico's main repetoire, and that we see more of them with the incomparable Arturo O'Farrill and the Afro-Latino Jazz Orchestra. SO wish that it was more than one night!

Ballet Hispanico at the Apollo Theater on December 17 was simply amazing. The company presented three pieces, but the one that blew me away was Eduardo Vilaro's Asuka. From beginning to end the piece was mesmerizing with innovative, engaging movement, inventive choreography, smart costumes and spectacular lighting. The work used all the company members who were stellar and looked like they were having a great time. The score was a series of songs by the iconic Celia Cruz and each section was a joy. I have not been this excited about the company in years. The other pieces Club Havana, was just cheesy fun and the first piece, Tito on Timbales, almost seemed like a Ballet Hispanico Museum piece. I say a museum piece for two reasons because it is almost thirty years old, and it seemed like past works where thier Latinidad was forced. The costumes were muted colors, but looked elegant on the women and unflattering on the men. The dancers were consistently wonderful, regardless of the work, but if Asuka by Ballet Hispanico's new Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro is an indication of the company's future, then that future is bright.

What an incredible display of dance! The ensemble was right on! My body was moving throughout each piece. And the live music supplied by Arturo O'Farrill and orchestra- wow! It gave me goose bumps. I remembered back to last December when I saw him and his sons perform in Havana, Cuba. Wow- again!

The direction Ballet Hispanico is going under the new director is very exciting. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

The music was excellent, but the choreography for the show was very forgettable, even though the dancers were very skilled.

It was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. The Ballet was Fantastic. Arturo we have been to many times - the band brought a sense of family and closeness to the show. People were feeling friendly and festive from the fun that was going on - on stage. We have since bought tickets for friends of ours and family members as Christmas presents. Thank you for a wonderful Sat. afternoon in NYC.

This was my first ballet and enjoyed it very much. It was a fun and entertaining show.

I did enjoy Ballet Hispanico. I thought the dancers were extremely accomplished and the venue varied. I felt the two and a half intermissions were a tad too long though.

My daughter and I always enjoy the experience of different dance productions, ( she is a dancer).We thought the first act was very energetic and the costumes were gorgeous & very dramatic. The second act left us just a little confused with the spotlight directed into the audience,and the stage itself relatively dark,( we could not see much of what was happening). The third act was very well presented and gave us a bit of insight into the individual personalities of the dancers themselves-vey well done!

Captivating and exciting! Superlative marriage of movement and music rendered with beauty, passion and and humor. Can we see it again, please!

length was good and nice to see a variety of dancing

My daughter and I loved the performance. My six year old little one thrills from dance performances and gave this event a big10!!!

I enjoyed this show very much! I was amazed by all the performers & captivated by all the dances! I would loved to attend this show again or other shows like this one! I deeply recommend this show to all ages!

How refreshing to see such energy on display in Los Angles! There is no doubt that this is a troup from New York City. Spectacular!!! Looking forward to their return!

Ballet Hispanico is outstanding....Tina Ramirez is wonderful and has brought dance to a new level

Ballet Hispanico offers a company of talented and disciplined young performers who ignite an audience with the ardor and art of dance. A wonderful evening in the theatre where time passes far too quickly!

My family and I really enjoyed an afternoon performance. The music was perfect and the performers were very talented. The entire show seemed a bit short due to the extended intermissions. Nonetheless, we would see it again and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Great show to go watch. The club Havana act was my favorite, however all three others were also great. The dancers have an amazing talent.
