Acosta Danza Marks 10 Years at Sadler’s Wells With Mixed Reviews for ‘A Decade in Motion

A compact Havana‑trained cast performs four works featuring two UK premieres.

Overview

  • The run at Sadler’s Wells in London continues through September 27.
  • The bill comprises La Ecuación by George Céspedes, 98 Días by Javier De Frutos (UK premiere), Llamada by Goyo Montero (UK premiere) and De Punta a Cabo by Alexis Fernández.
  • Critical views diverge, with The Times praising the dancers and the celebratory tone, while the Evening Standard describes a muted evening with limited festivity.
  • De Punta a Cabo closes the night with an upbeat, salsa‑leaning finale set against filmed imagery of Havana’s Malecón.
  • About 15 dancers—mostly trained at the Acosta Danza Academy—perform a programme by an all‑male roster of choreographers.
