Program Description:
For over fifty years Ballet Hispánico has been a platform for Black and Brown youth to find their dreams in the dance world. We have made it our mission to shine a spotlight on these talented young dancers, uplifting their voices and ultimately creating a central place for them on the world's foremost stages. The Ballet Hispánico legacy is intrinsically tied to these students' lived experiences. As an organization we face a renaissance period of growth and revitalization, and we seek now to build on this legacy of access and inclusion, emboldened by our success to in turn create more opportunities to empower our youth. We are therefore thrilled to announce a second year of the Pa'lanta Scholars Program.
