Alden Theatre

In a world defined by change and reinvention, Ballet Hispánico New York offers an evening at The McLean Community Center's Alden Theatre where movement becomes a form of resilience, reflection, and renewal. MUJERES: Women in Motion features three powerful choreographic voices—each exploring identity, conscience, and cultural inheritance through her own distinct lens. Together, they reveal the plural imagination of contemporary America: layered, rhythmic, and alive with meaning. Don't miss this mesmerizing performance on October 2 at 7 p.m. at The Alden Theatre!
“Ballet Hispánico dances with elegance and lyricism.”—The Washington Post
Runtime: approximately 100 minutes with two intermissions
