Accompanied by Cuban consul Jesus Garcia and exponents of his country’s ballet and that of Yucatan, Alicia pointed out that receiving the acknowledgement and the love of human beings is the most beautiful thing that can happen to her.

The Web site of El Universal de Mexico newspaper reported that the town council’s aldermen, headed by the mayor, expressed their joy and pride for having the internationally famous Cuban dancer and ballet director in Merida.

In the presence of several media outlets, classic dance professors and directors of the city council, the municipal president told Alicia that the medal contains the love of Merida residents.

Likewise, she expressed her gratitude to the BNC director for regaling them with her art and sensitivity, by way of the ballet company she’s heading.

The second and last presentation of Swan Lake by the BNC will take place on Saturday at the atrium of Merida’s Cathedral, as part of its tour of several Mexican cities.
