Based in Havana, Cuba, Malpaso Dance Company is committed to bringing Cuban contemporary dance into the 21st Century by collaborating with top international choreographers and nurturing new voices in Cuban choreography. The company's core artistic vision is led by resident repertory choreographer and artistic director Osnel Delgado.

The company was founded in 2012 by Delgado, Dailedys Carrazana and Fernando Saéz, and consists of 10 dancers. Company's repertory includes 24 Hours and a Dog and Farewell, by Delgado, both set to music by Grammy Award-winning Cuban-American composer Arturo O'Farrill (who wrote an original overture for the piece, of the same name), as well as original commissions Why You Follow by Ronald K. Brown and Under Fire by Trey McInytre, among other works.

In addition to $10 tickets for primary, secondary, and college students, Texas Performing Arts is now offering a limited number of $12 tickets to active and retired military personnel for all 2016-2017 Essential Series performances (excludes Broadway and special engagements). A military ID is required. For a schedule of upcoming 2016-2017 season performances, please visit www.TexasPerformingArts.org.
