Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba to Perform Saturday at Avellaneda Hall

Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba (LADC) will close the first stage of its 32nd Summer Course with a showcase at the Avellaneda Hall of the National Theater on Saturday, July 25th.

According to organizers, the gala will connect younger generations with more experienced dancers, as some children perform on stage for the first time while others return to the thrilling experience with a unique flair.

The performance serves as a synthesis of everything learned by students through the opportunity to take classes from guest teachers brought in specifically for the occasion, including Cuban National Ballet principal dancer Grettel Morejón and dance researcher and performer Víctor Cabrera.

Dancer-instructors from LADC's professional staff and master teachers such as Helgar Brito, Yadira Hernández, and Dayra Jay—who stand today among the company's pedagogical pillars—also participated in the training.

This 32nd edition features a curriculum encompassing Ballet, Flamenco, Urban Dance, Popular Cuban Dance, and the company's trademark Fusion Dance, along with masterclasses and choreographic stagings that will be showcased during the theater performance.

Furthermore, Saturday's show will provide the ideal setting for the graduation of LADC's Student Artistic Group, the talent pipeline for the company, which has performed across all five continents and celebrates its 35th anniversary this year.

The second stage of the Summer Course, scheduled from July 27th to August 8th, will offer new experiences and once again conclude with a Closing Gala at the National Theater to extend the celebration on a grand stage.

Laughter, guidance, new friendships, and an abundance of knowledge coexist in this educational-artistic-cultural journey aimed at the human and artistic growth of its participants, highlighted the press release issued by the company led by relentless educator, choreographer, and director Lizt Alfonso.
