Loveliness flows through their well-toned bodies. Restrained elegance meets body-hugging eroticism. Street dance moves are followed by breathtaking jumps, excellent pirouettes or smooth lifting figures. The dance show Ballet Revolución is hot! For ten years now, the young Cubans have been keeping the dance world in suspense: six extraordinarily successful tours have already taken them from Havana to Europe, Asia and Australia. More than a million spectators have already been carried away by their dancing passion. Now Ballet Revolución is finally coming back to Germany and Switzerland!
Just in time for the 10th stage anniversary, the dancers will perform from 26. December 2022 until the end of January 2023 in Bremen, Mannheim, Dortmund, Berlin and Düsseldorf, the dancers will let the Cuban spark fly and heat up the audience with choreographies to international top hits by Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Camila Cabello, Coldplay and Justin Timberlake, among others. In April 2023, the rousing show will make guest appearances in Duisburg, Stuttgart, Basel and Munich, and in July 2023 in Cologne, Frankfurt and Hanover.
Live international top hits as well as costumes from the "King of Highheels"
Always there: Her rousing band, which turns every show into a live concert and the young dancers with no.1-Hits from pop, R&B, hip-hop and thrilling Cuban rhythms. And then there's the electrifying lighting design as well as the exciting costumes. The latter designed by the "king of high heels" Jorge González. He enthuses, "The enduring fascination of Ballet Revolución is surely the joie de vivre that the show conveys at every performance."
Irresistible mix of ballet, street dance and Latin moves
.The two choreographers Roclan González Chávez and Aaron Cash are responsible for the wonderful choreographies, which include classical ballet, modern dance and hip-hop, but of course also elements from rumba, salsa or mambo. They manage to make the 21 dancers set each of their steps in sync, sparkling with electrifying liveliness. "Most dancers dance with the music," says Aaron Cash "But the Cubans dance in it." And Chavez adds, "Cuban dancers move differently than any other dancers in the world." That Cuban sense of movement is Ballet Revolución's recipe for success. "The Afro-Cuban dance style gives them a great looseness in the shoulders and hips. Dancing is pure passion," Chavez says. Thus, an exuberant mashup of ballet, street and contemporary dance emerges from the diversity of musical and dance influences.
The first-class trained dancers are among the best in the world In Cuba, there exists a distinct, original dance style - the Cuban school. It is a combination of the French, Russian, British and American schools with the multicultural roots of Cuba. The dancers of Ballet Revolución are among the best in the world: they were trained at the internationally highly respected dance academy Escuela Nacional de Arte (ENA) and the famous Escuela Nacional de Ballet (ENB). Here, students receive fundamental training in all contemporary dance forms and in classical ballet. Dancers trained at the ENA and ENB are appreciated worldwide for their emotional expressiveness, technical perfection and the passion that goes into every movement.
