Cuban Seniors Dance Through Blackout Blues

Amidst Cuba's economic struggles, a group of senior citizens in Havana found a way to dance away their worries. A recent weekday morning brought an unexpected power outage, but it didn't stop Ana Mirta Sanchez and her 30 friends from their daily dance session. Lizt Alfonso, director of the Lizt Alfonso Dance Company, explained, "The program is designed to provide a fun and healthy distraction for seniors." The dancers' joy and energy are infectious, a testament to the human spirit's ability to find happiness even in challenging times. One participant, Maria, shared, "Even without electricity, we can still dance and feel alive!" The video is a powerful reminder of the importance of community, resilience, and the simple joys that can bring light to difficult situations.
