Academic Ballet Encounter reaches Cuban communities

Havana, April 2 (Prensa Latina) The Cabildo Quisicuaba Sociocultural Project, located in the Los Sitios neighborhood of Central Havana, hosted the community component of the 31st International Encounter of Academies for Ballet Teaching, featuring dance, theater, and musical performances. Presented by artistic institutions from across the country, the event commemorated the centennial of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro and the anniversary of the founding of the José Martí Pioneer Organization and the Union of Young Communists, which will be celebrated on April 4.

“We are proud to be able to celebrate this event at our institution, given that communities are an important artery in national artistic work,” Lien Lucía García, vice president of the Quisicuaba religious institution, told Prensa Latina in an exclusive interview.

The program included pieces such as Tiempo de Vals and La Ternura from the Vocational Workshop of the Fernando Alonso National Ballet School, as well as En Clave from the National Dance School and Tango para un Encuentro by the Olivian Danza company.

The Corina Mestre National Theater School offered a stage performance, while the group Todo Concuerda performed works such as Mozart’s Alla Turca and Ernesto Lecuona’s Comparsa.

“In Todo Concuerda, we fuse classical and popular music, and this has been a great opportunity to showcase our talent at such an important event as the Meeting of Academies for Ballet Teaching and, at the same time, bring our work to the community,” pianist Lya Azul, a member of the group, told the agency.

The day concluded with a tribute to Benny More, performed by the L y 19 Elementary Dance School, which received prolonged applause from the audience.
