This article is an anthropological exploration of the role of dance in tourism-led entrepreneurship and tourism-led mobilities in Cuba. Based on ethnographic research and employing an autoethnographic lens, the article examines the imaginaries and gendered performances of Cubanness that play out in touristic settings as part of dance trips organized on the island for international tourists. Women are the main target audience for these dance programs, which oftentimes reveal the reproduction of racial stereotypes that contributed to the growing popularity of Cuba as a tourist destination. Dance teachers come to establish a broad spectrum of relations that are influenced by inequalities of resources and unequal access to mobility, since it is the (usually) white European and North American dancing tourists who take up space as central dancing figures, co-creating the cultural script that fetishizes Cuban Black bodies, especially in settings such as salsa schools or popular dance venues.

古巴风格的萨尔萨舞：旅游主导的创业与舞蹈个人发展的交汇点


本文是对舞蹈在古巴旅游主导的创业和旅游主导的流动性中的作用的人类学探索。基于民族志研究并采用自体民族志的镜头，本文研究了古巴人的想象和性别表演，这些表演是在岛上为国际游客组织的舞蹈旅行的一部分，在旅游环境中上演的。女性是这些舞蹈节目的主要目标受众，这些节目往往揭示了种族刻板印象的再现，这些刻板印象导致古巴作为旅游目的地越来越受欢迎。舞蹈教师来建立广泛的关系，这些关系受到资源不平等和流动性不平等的影响，因为（通常）欧洲和北美的白人舞蹈游客作为中心舞蹈人物占据空间，共同创造了迷恋古巴黑人身体的文化剧本，尤其是在萨尔萨舞学校或流行舞蹈场所等环境中。
