For over 50 years, innovative New York–based Ballet Hispánico has been bringing communities together to celebrate and explore Latinx cultures through dance. Last seen at the Kennedy Center in 2013, Ballet Hispánico returns with internationally-renowned choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's Doña Perón—her first evening-length work for the company.
