High Level Narrative
The show traces the evolution of Latin dance from its Afro-Cuban roots. The first section starts with an agricultural scene: men and women working in the fields.
The second section uses a traditional bachata score to describe a very common theme: love lost, request for forgiveness, and redemption.
The final salsa section is a celebration of music and endings.
