Alicia Alonso, a Dancing Star
Alicia Alonso, a Dancing Star

Summary/Abstract: Alicia Alonso is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious figures of Classical Dance inside and outside her natal island. In this paper, I will present a survey of the dancer’s personal and artistic life. Before that, I shall revise the historical context of Classical Dance in Cuba and the beginnings of the artist before she became the international dance star she is now. I shall also analyse her value as a soloist and as entrepreneur of the Cuban transformation of Ballet, to end up showing how she reaches a key position as synonym of Art of Dance.
