The company was founded in 1948, with Alicia Alonso as its main founder and leading figure. In 1950 the Alicia Alonso National Ballet School was created, attached to the professional company. From the beginning, his artistic line was based on respect for the romantic and classical tradition, stimulating at the same time the creative work of choreographers who followed a line of research in the national and contemporary.
