LADC bids farewell to 2025 with a grand show

Havana’s cultural scene is set to dazzle as the Teatro Nacional de Cuba prepares for a spectacular ballet presentation this December. The prestigious Avellaneda Hall will serve as the stage for an extraordinary display of artistic excellence on December 13th at 7:00 PM and December 14th at 5:00 PM local time.

This significant cultural event will feature the distinguished professional company alongside members of the Vocational Workshops and the Children’s and Youth Ballet. Audiences will witness the remarkable artistic progression of students as they demonstrate their technical mastery and perform alongside established professionals.

The program will include revivals from the renowned repertoire of Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba, the acclaimed company established in 1991. Founder Lizt Alfonso, recognized as a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador for her cultural contributions, has built an institution that represents the pinnacle of Cuban dance education and performance.

This year-end presentation offers a unique opportunity to observe the seamless transition of dancers from training to professional performance, highlighting Cuba’s enduring commitment to artistic education and cultural preservation. The event stands as a testament to the country’s vibrant dance tradition and its successful mentorship model.
