Jimenez aims to do a virtual class each day at 10:30 a.m. for dancers to maintain their training. Each performance is shown separately prior to the final result, where they all come together in one piece. The music was created with arrangements of the pianist Isaac Rodriguez.
The CCBM presents talented dancers and performers, as well as training young dancers to embody the elegance and strict methodology of dancing in Cuban culture.
