Como No has been working with dance from Cuba since 1999 and 2000 when we presented the Conjunto Folklórico Nacional at the Royal Festival Hall and at Sadler’s Wells.

Como No began working with the national contemporary dance company Danza Contemporánea de Cuba in 2003 when it provided the core dance company for Carlos Acosta’s Tocororo. Our relationship with the company has continued to develop, in 2006 Como No commissioned the first work by the company’s resident choreographer George Céspedes, Peso de Una Isla, and we now work closely with Danza Contemporánea on its international presentations. Danza Contemporanea is on tour in Italy, Spain, France, UK and Germany in 2012.

Como No co-produced, with Sadler’s Wells, the first London performances for almost twenty years by the Ballet Nacional de Cuba 2006 and produced the UK tour by the company in 2010. We continue to work closely with the Ballet Nacional.
