Omar Robles is doing phenomenal work in the streets of Cuba by documenting ballet dancers. He has over 141,000 followers on Instagram and we are not surprised, for the quality of his work is nothing short of majestic.

Robles thinks that Cuban ballet dancers are among the best in the world. He cites their Afro-Caribbean blood and Russian school of training as the prime reasons behind such exquisite movements of these dancers.

He has been dreaming to visit the country for long, and thanks to a grant by the Bassie Foundation, he was recently able to fulfill his dreams. “Cubans struggle incessantly to stay afloat. Yet much like the ballet dancers, they strive with a resilience and elegance that I’ve never seen before. This is exactly why Cuban ballet dancers have always been so great and through so many generations. Endurance simply resides in their blood,” he writes on his blog.
