The National Ballet of Cuba is a fairytale legend. The National Ballet of Cuba
was founded in 1948 by the amazing Alicia Alonso while at the peak of her success.
Founded as The Ballet Alicia Alonso, renamed in 1959 after the Cuban revolution to
National Ballet of Cuba, the company had the strength and power of the Alicia herself. ... Even though
Alicia had eyesight problems, she overcame them just to pursue her passion, vision, and
dream, which was to create a Cuban Ballet Company. ...
As a girl just turning into a teen, Alicia was already on the Broadway stage performing
with the American Ballet Caravan. ...
That year was a big year for Alicia, in making dreams come true as she immediately
joined the highly-praised American Ballet Theater. ...
At the same time she was busy leaping across stages internationally, her newly formed
dance company was fighting an unfaithful battle in Cuba, the homeland she loved. Cuba,
a country known for its tough macho men, had little to offer the ballet company, was
requesting men to dance and twirl gracefully across a stage. ... Then she created and
founded "The School of Ballet Alicia Alonso" which trained and looked after artists
working directly in placement with the Ballet Company itself.
