The Elena Ruso Academy is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a grand festival that brings together on stage all the disciplines that have been part of its artistic journey.
The program is divided into two parts. The first part begins with urban dance, including a vibrant performance of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, and continues with “El Ballet de la Vida,” an original creation for this anniversary that fuses classical, neoclassical, and contemporary dance into a theatrical metaphor about life at the cellular level.
The second part gives way to a flamenco-Arabic dance with the performance of “Salomé,” a ballet inspired by Carlos Saura’s film and set to music by Roque Baños, which combines strength, elegance, and drama.
A choral performance featuring 150 students, ranging in age from 4 to adults, showcasing the talent, growth, and passion that have defined the academy for four decades.
