HAVANA RAKATAN - 2 FOR 1 OFFER NOW EXTENDED!
A dazzling dance spectacular Direct from Cuba, back again this
Summer!
Nilda Guerra's acclaimed Cuban company Ballet Rakatan brings a
slice of Havana flavour back to London as high-octane Cuban dance
combines with an awe-inspiring Cuban band in this spectacular new
show direct from the world's most soulful city.
From the sexy, spontaneous rumba to the slick footwork of the cha-
cha-cha, this is a show that's guaranteed to get heads nodding and
feet tapping. Set to live Cuban music courtesy of Cuba's well-known
son band Turquino, Havana Rakatan is a captivating journey through
the dance and music of a truly unique country.
Beginning with the Cuban fusion of Spanish culture and African
spiritual beliefs, choreographer Nilda Guerra takes us through a rich
mix of flamenco, Yoruba and Afro-Haitian rhythms, before moving
on to the modern forms of salsa that originated in the early
twentieth century salon dances.
Jazz, mambo, bolero, son, cha-cha-cha, rumba and salsa all come
alive in a dazzling display of the unrivalled passion at the heart of
Cuba.
