Ballet Nacional de Cuba: Don Quixote / Giselle

The dancers of Ballet Nacional de Cuba are known around the world for their exuberant flair–and their uniquely Cuban, athletic training based in the Russian style infuses classics from the ballet repertoire with a special passion all their own. The company made its landmark U.S. debut at the Kennedy Center forty years ago, and Ballet Nacional de Cuba now returns for the first time since 2011 with two signature classics by Artistic Director Alicia Alonso that bridge the gap between refined taste and pure entertainment.
