Ballet Hispanico, long recognized as the nation’s leading Latino dance organization, announces auditions for the Second Company, BHdos, the company’s pre-professional troupe. Auditions for the troupe will be held on Sunday, February 9, 2014 from 11am-2pm at Ballet Hispanico, 167 W. 89^th Street, NYC. Registration begins at 10am.

Auditions are open to male and female dancers ages 18-22 with strong classical and contemporary technique. Dancers are asked to bring a headshot and current resume to the audition.  The time commitment for the season is 10-15 hours a week with rehearsals on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, February through June.

Handpicked by Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro, the talented pre-professional dancers of Ballet Hispanico’s second company form bridges: between the School of Dance and the professional Company, between Ballet Hispanico and the community, and between their own training and careers in dance. Under the guidance of Deputy School Director Nicholas Villeneuve, dancers work with highly-skilled artistic leadership to bring Latino culture to schools, communities and corporations. With engaging and interactive performances, this sixth season of BHdos leads audiences through an exciting 50-minute exploration of dance influenced by Spain and Latin America. Each fully-costumed performance features the impressive choreography from the current Ballet Hispanico repertory.

During the season, BHdos will tour and perform repertory throughout all New York City boroughs, at public and private schools as well as corporate events.
