‘THE CUBAN MIRACLE’: TO THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CREATION OF ‘BALLET ALICIA ALONSO’
Abstract
The article is devoted to comprehension to the phenomenon of the Cuban ballet, often referred to as the “Cuban miracle”. The contribution of its founders Fernando, Alicia and Alberto Alonso is described; the stages of the formation of Cuba’s dance art are characterized. The determination of certain periods of the Cuban ballet by political events is shown. Data on the creation of the first school of ballet in Cuba, about the first Russian ballet teacher Nikolay Yavorsky, about ballet education are updated. The distinctive characteristics of the Cuban ballet school are specified. It is concluded that the universal system of choreographic education, developed by Fernando and Alicia Alonso, allowed for the shortest period to raise the “young” Cuban ballet to the world level.
