Highlights:
Edson Cabrera was born in Cuba and graduated from the highly regarded Escuela Nacional de Arte in Dance in 2005 and was trained at the National School of Art in Havana.
Rumba: One of Cuba’s most celebrated forms of music and dance. The genre is energetic and soulful, using conga drums, claves, maracas, scrapers, and bells. When you listen to rumba, you can’t help but start to dance! *Cuban rumba is not the same as American ballroom rumba (or rhumba) but inspired the popular ballroom dance category.
