In Previous Years

You might remember us from the Cuban Pavilion entertainment in previous years where Dance World proudly produced the Cuban Pavilion shows, bringing in professional dancers from across Canada and showcasing the incredible talent of our local performers. Together with our Cuban kids program, we celebrated the vibrant energy and diversity of Cuban dance culture on stage. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome El Conjunto Folklórico Nacional de Cuba, who will be lighting up the stage with four spectacular shows each day throughout the week!
