Havana, Cuba.- Cuban choreographer and dancer Tony Menendez, who arrived in Cuba from a successful tour around several European nations such as France, Austria and Switzerland, received in Italy the Grand International Prize of Entertainment and Television Milan-Italy 2011.
The ceremony took place at the San Babila theater of Milan with the presence of artists and personalities of Italy and the world, and representatives of the Cuban embassy in Italy.
Menendez also received a golden plaque from the hands of the Cuban general consul in Milan in recognition of his contribution and his artistic work at the service of the Cuban people.
Upon his arrival in Cuba, Menendez was informed that he was chosen by the Cuban people —through a national survey carried out by Radio Taino— as Cuba’s Best Choreographer.
During his tour around Europe, Menendez was a guest of honor at the Milan Fashion Week, one of the world’s most prestigious fashion events, and he also was guest of televisions programs of important TV channels such as RAI Uno, Canale 5, TV Moda, and Italia Uno. (ACN)
