Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba to Perform in Mexico

With Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba (LADC), Mexico will vibrate, said that country''s Ambassador to Havana, Enrique Martinez, a few days before the presentation of the company in the National Auditorium.
 
With capacity for around 10,000 spectators, the Coliseum of the Mexican capital will host on August 9 the show 'Cuba Vibrates!' covering Cuban popular music and dances from the second half of the 20th century to the present.

In Martinez's opinion, the event realizes a wish that helps to further strengthen bilateral relations, because Mexico and Cuba are like a couple in love, and love is demonstrated, he said.

According to the founder, director and choreographer of the group, Lizt Alfonso, 'Cuba vibrates!' brings together the best moments of several shows such as 'Force and Compass,' 'Elements,' 'Wings,' 'Life,' 'Friends' and 'Heartbeat,' acclaimed in many countries' theaters.

Through fusion style and live music, LADC perform in 'ÂíCuba vibrates!' a tour of those rhythms that have made history on the island from the 1950s to the present.

So the choreographies have cha-cha-cha, mambo, rumba and conga, in perfect harmony with Latin jazz, swing, rock and roll and flamenco, among many other styles.

Despite having performed in several cities in Mexico, LADC has never danced in the capital and its director considers a challenge to rise to a stage as prestigious as the National Auditorium, although she is very happy to represent Cuban roots.

This show is very special because it shows who we are, where we come from and how that distinguishes us from the rest of the companies in the world, said Alfonso.
