Synopsis
In DANCING WITH CUBA, a Mexican-born journalist writes about her early years in New York training to be a dancer, a career she was forced to give up in favor of teaching. Moving to Cuba to work at a dance school at the beginning of the 1970s, she goes through a period of upheaval, both political and personal, as she struggles to come to terms with her own disappointments and with the very mixed results of the Cuban revolution. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.

Industry Reviews
"Written with dignity and without rhetoric or undue emotion: when this author flays her feelings, it's because she is utterly alive and in protest."
Kirkus Reviews (12/01/2003)
"...DANCING WITH CUBA is a pleasure to read, full of humanity, sly humor, curiosity and knowledge....As a memoirist, she manages some difficult terrain. somehow, she conveys the intense and immediate feelings of youth while at the same time objectifying her 20-year-old self as a character in the story she is telling....Guillermoprieto writes with a novelist's zest for particulars...."
