Dancers at the Tropicana nightclub, Havana, Cuba. The large cast of dancers, singers, and musicians perform in an outdoor venue under the stars to energy-filled Latin music. The Tropicana is a Cuban cultural legacy and a world-renowned cabaret dating back to 1939.
The Tropicana nightclub was one of many places Darlene Shields and her husband, Jack Williams, visited during their cruise to Cuba in April 2017.
