“ANYONE focusing on the “Cuba” part of this company’s name, rather than the “Contemporánea”, may have found it wanting. There’s no salsa, no high-heeled rumba – just some of the finest contemporary dancers touring the world today.
It’s the company’s ability to remain resolutely Cuban, yet embrace elements of the international choreographers who visit them, that makes Danza Contemporánea de Cuba so special.
The capacity to adapt, born largely out of necessity, also makes these dancers ready for anything – including tricky lifts and catches wearing boxing gloves, as they do in Israeli-born Itzik Galili’s Sombrisa.”
