Ballet Hispánico's A La Calle Block Party is a joyous celebration of Latinx dance, music, art, food, and culture! The A La Calle Block Party takes place on West 89th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues, outside of Ballet Hispánico's headquarters in the heart of the Upper West Side. Festivities include live performances from Ballet Hispánico’s Pa'lante Scholars, free dance classes, live music, and food from local vendors.

New to the block party this year and as part of its commitment to champion and amplify voices within its community, Ballet Hispánico will be inviting select Latinx dance companies from around New York City to perform as guest artists, including Flamenco Vivo, Bombazo Dance Company and Calpulli Mexican Dance Company.

Ballet Hispánico’s 2022 Block Party is made possible in part by the generous support of Con Edison. Additional support for the community event is provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
