Dance in Cuba: From Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance to Traditional and Popular Dances

In a single volume, Dance in Cuba is the one and only complete reference. It explores all the currents and genres of Cuban dance, from their beginnings to today: from the Ballet Nacional de Cuba to Danza Contemporanea de Cuba; from the many dance companies
such as the extraordinary Acosta Danza
to entertainment dancing. All the facets of the fascinating universe of rhythms and born to dance artists of the Big Island. AUTHOR: Elisa Guzzo Vaccarino has for decades been a critic and authority on dance (La Scala theatre in Milan, Italy) for newspapers, websites, television, theatres, museums and festivals, in Europe. In the early eighties her intense involvement in the project The Island that Dances led her frequently to Cuba and the forming of longstanding friendships. She continues to pursue her passion for this very special island through constant research, and above all by dancing and living in Cuba with the Cubans.
