▍原文

Alicia Alonso: Legendary ballet dancer dies aged 98

Alonso is considered one of the greatest 20th Century ballerinas. She began to lose her sight at 19, relying on only the stage lights to guide her.

After the 1959 revolution, she helped found the National Ballet of Cuba with then leader Fidel Castro.

"Alicia Alonso has gone and left an enormous void but unbeatable legacy," President Miguel Diaz-Canel said.

"She positioned Cuba at the altar of the best of dance worldwide. Thank you Alicia for your immortal work," he added.
