A bit of history.

Before diving into the details of the San Jose Ballet Festival, it is important to take a look at the rich history of this dance.

The history of ballet in Costa Rica dates back to the early twentieth century, when classical dance began to spread in the country. Through the influence of international masters and companies, it managed to establish itself and grow in Costa Rica.

During the 1930s, European and American dance companies arrived in Costa Rica, such as Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes and the Monte Carlo Ballet, which presented acclaimed shows and aroused great interest among Costa Ricans.

However, it was in 1971 when the Ballet of Costa Rica was founded, directed by the renowned Cuban dancer and choreographer Dulce Anaya. This company became the main institution in the country and played a fundamental role in the development and promotion of classical dance in the country.
