RCR is excited to be returning to the CubaCaribe Dance & Music Festival for the first time since 2012. We will be performing a 10-minute work “Como Se Toca Se Baila,” of three separate choreographies performed to the live music of Ryan’s band Son Chévere.

RCR will be performing as part of the program with eight other dance companies in three separate shows:

Friday, June 7th at 8pm

Saturday, June 8th at 8pm

Sunday, June 9th at 4pm

"Como se toca se baila," meaning "it's danced as it's played," is a Changüí song from Guantánamo, and we borrow this title for this work, our tribute to the joy that springs from the deep connection between Cuban popular music and Cuban social dance. In three choreographies we embody the connection between the Cha-cha-chá step and the marcha of the tumbadora (conga drum), we physicalize the relation between the clave rhythm and the contratiempo step in Son Cubano, and we reflect the accents of Timba music in the dance of Rueda de Casino.
