The Afro-Cuban Dance Summit: The Conjunto Collaboration

More than a festival, this is a direct, physical connection to the heartbeat of Cuba. We gather at the source to live, breathe, and embody the raw folkloric traditions that laid the foundation for all modern Cuban music and dance.

In a world of fast-paced, social-media-driven trends, this summit stands as a vital sanctuary for deep-rooted, authentic cultural knowledge—ensuring that the sacred lineage of Afro-Cuban movement is not just remembered, but lived.

The 2027 Double Collaboration: A Historic Convergence
This year marks a monumental milestone. For the past three years, our Afro-Cuban Dance Festival has thrived within the walls of the prestigious Conjunto Folklórico Nacional de Cuba. Now, we are combining forces for an unprecedented double-collaboration in celebration of their 65th Anniversary.

To elevate your experience, we have completely transformed our structure for this historic year:

  • The Afternoon Shift: Daily classes and intensives will begin later in the day. This deliberate schedule allows you to rest, process the training, and fully absorb the vibrant anniversary celebrations happening around the campus.
  • The All-Access Pass: While our internal curriculum remains exceptionally focused and intimate, your registration includes a complimentary pass to the official 65th-anniversary workshops, panel discussions, and legendary master performances hosted by the Conjunto.
  • Dual Evolution: Training directly alongside the national company during this historic milestone creates a powerful, two-way exchange that enriches both our global dance community and Cuba’s most revered cultural institution.

Deep-Rooted Training at the Source
Curated and led by the legendary Maestro Domingo Pau and Luanda, this summit brings together their tight-knit family of master musicians, dancers, and the elite of the Conjunto Folklórico Nacional de Cuba.

We created this space for dancers who want to move past superficial patterns and step into true technical mastery and cultural context. Whether you are an educator, a performance leader, or a deeply dedicated dancer, this annual summit is your foundation for excellence. Join us in Havana—your presence and sweat keep this magnificent, enduring tradition growing.

Full refund (less administrative fee, applied to international payments).

At all times, the following are considered exceptional circumstances
Visitors to Cuba must obtain a tourist card before traveling there. The tourist visa guarantees a maximum stay of 30 days (90 days for Canadian citizens) and can be extended once for the same period. Cuba requires all arriving travelers to have a tourist visa to enter the country.

UK residents, visit: https://www.cubavisa.uk/

U.S. Citizens: You will need a ROSA VISA to enter the territory of Cuba Only valid for passengers with a direct flight from the U.S. to Cuba. If you are traveling from the EU to Cuba, the European tourist visa will not work for you since you have already entered the U.S. or also for travelers with U.S. nationality.

More information: https://cubavisa.net/es/products/pink-cuba-visa-fill-in-service
Yes. 24 hours before the date of your flight, you must complete the “Traveler’s Form”, a digital form required by several institutions that allows entry to the national territory of Cuba. We advise you to fill it out and download it in JPG format, since you will not have access to the Internet when you arrive in Cuba, and this will save time at the border control. https://dviajeros.mitrans.gob.cu/inicio
If a U.S. citizen may travel to Cuba, he or she must do so under one of the 12 OFAC authorized categories,
TIPS: Which OFAC category best applies to U.S. participants? For U.S. participants, you must complete an online form; you can do this at the airport. Once you complete the form, it will ask you the reason for your trip to Cuba and verify to support the Cuban people and economy. The form takes about 10 minutes.

It is not easy to use the Internet in Cuba, but it is not impossible either. And I could even say that a little disconnection is not bad at all. It allows you to enjoy in a different way, relax, chat and meet other people without being aware of every notification that comes to your cell phone.

In order to connect to the Internet in Cuba you need to buy a card from the company ETECSA. This is a Cuban state-owned telephone company. You can reserve your Sim card online before your arrival in Havana and pick it up at the airport. https://suenacuba.com/tourist_sim_card_cuba_buy

In our last edition, we were all so close to each other that we felt like neighbors for life
Cuba has direct flights from several European capitals, including France (Air France), Amsterdam (KLM), Moscow (Aeroflot), Rome (Blue Panorama), Spain (Air Europa) and (Iberia).

Travelers from Asia or the Pacific may prefer to travel through the U.S. and through a connecting country such as Panama (COPA) or direct flights from Miami to Havana with charter companies such as Cuba Travel Services, ABC, Marazul and Gulfstream, among others, or through Mexico (Aeromexico and Interjet).
Currently, the only official currency in Cuba at the moment is the CUP, or Cuban pesos, as of August 4, 2022: the Central Bank of Cuba has established an exchange rate of 120 CUP for 1 USD, which means that if you exchange at the airport or government exchange rate, it will give you 120 CUP for 1 EURO. However, on the black market you can find the best prices for 1 EURO.

Our recommendation: wait to get to know the festival and the team, and we will help you get a better option. https://eltoque.com/tasas-de-cambio-de-moneda-en-cuba-hoy
Yes, for shopping in some malls, but it is recommended to carry cash (euros or dollars).

Telephone number: 7 24 01 41

If on your trip to Cuba you need to go to the hospital for treatment, you should call Asistur (7-866-4499 or 7-866-8427 Emergencias) for assistance with medical insurance and health care. Asistur has several regional offices in Cuba’s main cities.
