“Amazing . . . striking . . . dazzling.” - The New York Times
“Part of the thrill were the dancers — women backed by [male] musicians, creating a perfectly coordinated flurry of ruffled skirts, stamping feet and high-beam smiles. But just as exciting was the audience’s reaction . . . Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba dazzles.” - The Washington Post
“The company of superb performers can do it all at such high calibre, commitment and skill, while exuding beauty and pride . . . at the end the audience rose to its feet, gave an ovation and demanded two encores.” - The Dance Insider, New York
