The magic of dance (this anthology collects important moments of the choreographic art of the 19th century, in paradigmatic versions that are an example of respect and creativity with which the Cuban School of ballet tradition. The art of ballet, an expression that meets four centuries of existence, the passage of time has enriched and expanded its performing proposals. In this path, two moments are considered fundamental in the 19th century: romanticism and classicism, stages in which creators as Coralli, Perrot, Saint-Léon and Petipa and Ivanov, among others, bequeathed to the history of the ballet inescapable titles, presented in the magic of dance by rigorous recreations, which adds an example of recent Cuban choreographyin which the assimilation of academic technique and the embodiment of national essence, as a testimony of the expressive possibilities of the classical language is present. In it you can see scenes of Giselle, the sleeping beauty of the forest, Nutcracker, Coppelia, Don Quixote, the Lake of the swans and Gottschalk Symphony).
