James Sparshatt (1966 - )

Havana, Cuba, 2002.

The 1959 revolution in Cuba heralded a new vision for the people of Cuba in which race and class were to be removed as barriers to the world  of dance and culture.  The successes of Carlos Acosta have shown the youth of Cuba a new world and offered new horizons to aim for.

The school of Spanish dance is housed in the upper floors of the Teatro Garcia Lorca in Havana.  

James Sparshatt’s photographs of music and dance capture the emotion and intensity of people lost in the rhythm of the moment.
