VOICED : La version voluminosa del Lago de los Cisnes en Cuba

Danza Voluminosa, a Cuban ballet group founded in 1996, challenges traditional ballet norms by including obese dancers.

Initially met with skepticism, the group has gained respect and recently performed at the Teatro Nacional de La Habana.
