With a natural expressiveness combining extrovert Spanish and African heritage, Cubans are born to dance.

One of the most prestigious dance companies in the world, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, is renowned for its unparalleled technique, taking classical Western ballets and invigorating them with the vivid passion at the heart of Cuba.

The second programme is Magia de la Danza, a mixed bill featuring full orchestra plus special guest appearances from Carlos Acosta on the Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
