A group of young Cuban ballet dancers has taken social media by storm, showcasing their artistic versatility by performing en pointe in the heart of Viñales Valley, in the province of Pinar del Río.
The video, posted on TikTok by the account @monkeys_1122, features four dancers performing a fun choreography to the rhythm of the song "Tienes remix," performed by Ya Ice Dilan, Rey Toni, and Helabusador.
The images showcase young dancers moving with energy and synchronization across a spectacular landscape, while the screen displays the phrase: “Ballet dancers only do classical ballet,” serving as an irony against the prejudices surrounding this art form.
The clip, which has garnered thousands of views and positive comments, has been praised by users who applaud the creativity, joy, and the artists' ability to break molds and connect with the audience through humor and their Cuban roots.
"They are proof that Cuban talent knows no bounds," commented one of the followers on TikTok, while others highlighted the blend of ballet discipline and the carefree nature of the cast, two worlds that rarely coincide on stage.
The recording was made in an open rural area, surrounded by mogotes and vegetation, creating a natural atmosphere that enhances the spontaneity of the moment. The images also highlight the charisma of the dancers, who blend urban steps with technical precision and a sense of rhythm.
The video has become a viral phenomenon and a showcase of the new spirit of young Cuban artists: free, talented, and connected to contemporary trends without losing their identity.
