Isaac Hernández leaves the San Francisco Ballet

After the San Francisco press reported that Mexican dancer Isaac Hernández was leaving the San Francisco Ballet (SFB), the company he rejoined in 2022, the performer confirmed his departure on his social media.

The American company was the first international success for the Jalisco native. He then went to the Netherlands and later became a star of the English National Ballet, directed by Tamara Rojo, with whom he got engaged in 2018 and had a child in 2021. Two years ago, he joined the ballet after it was announced that Rojo would be taking over as director.

He added, "I am incredibly proud to have been part of productions like AK Giselle and Creature, and now here in SF, Aszure's Mere Mortals are truly groundbreaking pieces. I have been exposed to many styles and artistic challenges that have only made me a much better dancer than I ever thought I could be."

Finally, he assured that he will soon announce his new projects. In the meantime, he will come to Mexico with Despertares on August 23 at the Auditorio Nacional.
