As we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we are bringing you the story of two Latino dancers that are making a difference in the ballet industry.
As male Latino dancers, they are not only paving the way in the arts but also breaking stigmas.Esteban Hernández:
"I think it was something that we were sort of prepared for. I remember when I asked my dad to teach me to dance. He told me very clearly sort of like what the prospect of it would be. I came to him when I was seven. I said, 'I want to be a professional ballet dancer.' He was like, 'Are you sure?' He said, 'You're going to have to deal with things like machismo -- you're going to have to maybe sacrifice some of the things that kids your age would do.
"Which translates to awakenings. And through that, that started as a sort of like a performance opportunity to bring dance and art and make it accessible to people," Esteban said. "We have managed to bring some of the best schools to Mexico and audition talent in Mexico for the first time. And then we are seeing how they are picking talent from all across the country. They are changing their lives immediately," Isaac said.
