In statements to Prensa Latina news agency, Cuban dancer, professor and choreographer Lizt Alfonso, the founding director of Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba pointed to the impact Covid-19 has had on choreography, the art of creating and arranging dances.

The closure of theatres and drastic changes to regular dance classes and rehearsals, generated an explosion of solo dance choreographies and performances on digital platforms and social media.
