On Thursday 13 February 2025, the CM1-Cm2 class attended a rehearsal of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba. We saw the ballerinas warming up, practising and preparing choreographies under Linnet’s direction. Rosa and Aurora, parents of the students, accompanied us. The building was splendid. There was a poster of the first absolute ballerina: Alicia Alonzo.
The historian of the national ballet told us that it had a very strong link with Alejo Carpentier, who had been her teacher.
At the end, we were able to chat with the dancers. It was a very moving moment.
