Fallece a los 39 años Dada Masilo, pionera que entrelazó el ballet con la danza africana

Una bailarina y coreógrafa sudafricana, era reconocida como una valiente fuerza creativa que incorporó estilos de danza africana a obras tradicionales como “El lago de los cisnes.”

Dada Masilo, a South African dancer and choreographer known for injecting African dance into bold, unconventional interpretations of classical ballets like “Swan Lake” and “Giselle,” died on Sunday in Johannesburg. She was 39.

A spokeswoman for her family, Bridget van Oerle, said she died unexpectedly in a hospital after a brief illness.
