Mexican dance invades London in time for Olympic celebrations

London, 10 July (EFE).- (Camera: Cristina Gallardo).- More than a century ago, the Cuban dance form Danzón landed on the shores of Mexico and quickly spread to the streets and plazas throughout the nation. Now this traditional dance has come to the British capital where, with the help of several expert Danzón septuagenarians, Londoners will learn the steps of this romantic Mexican pastime.

The event, "A place to live when we are old", is part of the "Big Dance" festival, which hopes to see five million people dance this summer in public places around the world in celebration of the Olympic Games in London.
