Havana, Feb 3 (RHC) Young Cuban dancer Rolando Manuel Diéguez, a second-year student at the Acosta Danza Academy, is in Switzerland to compete in the Prix de Lausanne, a prestigious competition for ballet students held annually between February 2 and 9.

According to the Facebook page of the Acosta Dance Academy, created and led by the renowned Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta, Diéguez will be a part of the Choreographic Project.
