Since its establishment in 2012, and with a rapidly growing international profile, Malpaso Dance Company has become one of the most sought-after Cuban dance companies.  

Guided by the keen artistic direction of its original founders, the Malpaso dancers deliver “a non-stop barrage of fluid movement, supported by admirable technique and easy musicality” (NOW Toronto). Emphasizing a collaborative creative process, Malpaso is committed to working with top international choreographers while also nurturing new voices in Cuban choreography. 

Prepare for an evening of pieces that sway between the bounds of discipline and freedom, including Aszure Barton’s Indomitable Waltz and Ohad Naharin’s Tabula Rasa.
