"Havana-based Acosta Danza marks its 10th anniversary with A Decade in Motion, a programme characterised by the combination of freshness, pizzazz and compelling dancing, which has been the company's hallmark since its creation by the Cuban superstar Carlos Acosta soon after his retirement from The Royal Ballet in 2015. Acosta's intent was to showcase Cuba's vibrant, multifaceted culture and provide a vehicle to develop the talent and versatility of its dancers."
"Acosta's intent was to showcase Cuba's vibrant, multifaceted culture and provide a vehicle to develop the talent and versatility of its dancers. Cuba continues to punch way above its weight when it comes to producing outstanding dancers. None of the current crop of 17 were part of the original cohort that so dazzled us when they first burst onto the London stage a decade ago. Yet, they are as technically accomplished, fresh and irresistible as their predecessors."
Acosta Danza marks its 10th anniversary with A Decade in Motion, combining freshness, pizzazz and compelling dancing that has defined the company since 2015. The company, founded by Carlos Acosta, aims to showcase Cuba's vibrant, multifaceted culture while developing dancer talent and versatility. The current ensemble of 17, none of whom were in the original cohort, demonstrates equal technical accomplishment, freshness and irresistible presence. Repertoire in the programme spans geometric abstraction in George Cespedes's La Ecuacion, the sophisticated sensuality of Javier de Frutos's 98 Dias, the ponderous philosophising of Goyo Montero's Llamada, and Alexis Fernandez's warm De Punta a Cabo.
