The day before the renowned Cuban National Ballet took to the stage in Daytona Beach, two of its young dancers slipped away in a startling pas de deux, hoping for a new life in America.

Cuban Ballet lured me into a 4-hour drive

Like fugitives on the run, my best friend and I wriggled out of Sunday family obligations with half-truths, dressed up in evening black, and drove at high speeds for almost four hours to Daytona Beach for a sole purpose.
We wanted to see the legendary Cuban National Ballet, and Sunday night's Don Quixote at Daytona's Peabody Auditorium was the closest the troupe would come to Miami in its current U.S. tour.

I can sympathize with the writer, I'm considering making a trip down to Southern California to see the company there.
