Founded in Havana in 1962 by renowned Cuban folklorist Rogelio Martinez Fure, the ensemble has carefully collected, preserved and revived the wealth of Cuba's diverse cultural traditions through a theatrical repertoire of over 70 contemporary and traditional works. The Cuban National Folk Dance Ensemble is currently led by one of Cuba's most acclaimed choreographers, Manolo Micler, with Mr. Fure serving as artistic director. Over the years, the ensemble has developed a highly effective presentation style in which each work has been carefully crafted to fulfill contemporary theatrical requirements without compromising the work's traditional roots.
Space is limited.
