AN intoxicating mix of traditional and modern Cuban dance styles are being showcased in the Midlands this week.

The high-energy production Vamos Cuba! sees salsa, mambo, rumba, cha-cha-cha and reggaeton all being danced on the Birmingham Hippodrome stage.

Performed by a band led by Julito Padron, the show features a cast of the most sizzling dancers Cuba has to offer, letting audiences experience the joyous spirit of Havana as the production reveals contemporary Cuban culture through a mix of music and dance.

Set in the crazy chaos of Havana airport, where families are parted, lovers reunited and time flies when you’re having fun, the show evokes the joys and vibrancy of Cuban life with all the passion and humour that embodies the Cuban spirit.

Choreographed by Nilda Guerra, Vamos Cuba! is a new co-production between Sadler’s Wells, Blancon Productions, Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg and Birmingham Hippodrome.

Tickets for the production, which runs between Tuesday (November 1) and Saturday (November 5), start from £12 and are available by calling the box office on 0844 338 5000, or visiting www.birminghamhippodrome.com
