In April this year, Ballet Naçional de Cuba performed two weeks of virtuoso  classical ballet at The London Coliseum.

They presented two programmes to showcase the company’s unparalleled technique and Cuban flair, featuring guest appearances by Carlos Acosta.

During their busy rehearsal schedule the company visited Dancia International in Drury Lane, to stock up on supplies with funds raised by The British Friends of Ballet Naçional de Cuba (BFNBC).

Dancia London was only too pleased to donate 100 pairs of Gaynor Minden Pointe shoes to the company as well as a large discount to help the BFNBC donation go a little further.

With many thanks to David Bain of BFNBC and Viensay Valdes, Prima Ballerina, Ballet Naçional de Cuba, for their hard work in organising this event.
