Returning to the West End’s Peacock Theatre, after its sell-out UK premiere in spring 2012, Cuba’s Ballet Revolución is back for a limited three-week run from Wednesday 6 March - Saturday 23 March.

 

 

Ballet Revolución is an explosive fusion of ballet, contemporary dance and hip hop from a company of supremely talented Cuban dancers and live musicians, co-choreographed by former lead dancer for Cher and original Tap Dog Aaron Cash, this sensational production had London audiences on their feet at its sell-out UK premiere in spring 2012.

The Ballet Revolución live band perform popular hits from Shakira, Ricky Martin, Beyoncé and many more, while the dancers display their versatility in dance styles combined with the unique blend of Cuban, African and Spanish influences. Ballet Revolución is choreographed by Aaron Cash and Roclan Gonzalez Chavez.

 

Ballet Revolución, with some of the world’s most talented classical and contemporary dancers from the Escuela Nacional Cubana de Arte and the most prominent dance groups in Cuba, is a unique dance production full of pure emotion and relentless power and using a combination of different dance styles, creating an exciting new show straight out of Havana.

They are amazing. Saw them last year and really enjoyed it. A true fusion of dance styles. The music may prove a tad loud for some but I loved it. So did my 9 year old niece.
