THE CUBAN BALLET

On February 25 I am going to Havana to photograph the Cuban classical ballet.

I was only briefly introduced to Cuban ballet,during my last visit, which is dated far back, but it made a lasting impression on me. I had difficulty grasping the link between the spontaneous and improvised way of life, which has become a necessity in order to survive in Cuba, with classical ballet, which is controlled and choreographed down to every last detail.

Ballet Nacional de Cuba has granted me permission to photograph performances at the Gran Teatro, as well as classes at the school of ballet 
I look forward to this with excitement and enthusiasm.
So far I have 11 days
Had hoped for 30 days but it has been difficult to get visas.
I'll try if I can change things when I'm in cuba.
I will so far as it is possible  upload pictures on the blog while I am in Havana ....
