We use 1950s American cars in Havana as a visual metaphor for a landscape shaped by decades of U.S. policy. These vehicles are moving records of the regulatory framework. #USCuba #History

Is travel to Cuba legal? The answer isn't in politics; it’s in the sanctions law. We are launching a new video series: From the Sanctioned Seat. #CubaPolicy #OFAC

It is one of the Cuban dances that imposes a lot of closeness between the #couple.
The leader shows strength while the follower embellishes and shines.
When #dancing, the feet mo ve the most and the rest of the body follows the cadence in #harmony with the #music.

On January 1, 1879, the city of #Matanzas saw the #birth of the Cuban #dance similar to the habanera.
The first danzón was composed by Miguel Failde and was called “Las Alturas de Simpson.”
Slow, rhythmic, and orderly, that's danzón! 💃🏾

Let’s Danzón…Let’s Cuba!

[SonDosAlas @sondosalas]

With the arrival of #French settlers and black #Haitians, #European #contradance made its way to the island.
With it, a Creole variant known as “habanera” was born, which was enriched with #Cuban elements and gave birth to #danzón.

[SonDosAlas @sondosalas]

The #dance and #musical manifestations of Cuba are an evident expression of the #spirit of an entire #nation.
Cuban #dances were born in the various regional towns and over time have been enriched to become part of Cuba’s #universal #artistic #heritage.

Likely good news for @AmericanAir @SouthwestAir and @Delta this is terrible news for everyone who travels to Cuba legally.Especially true for those of us who do not live in Florida. @USDOT should reinstate permissions for departures to Cuba from nonFlorida based departure cities.

[Patrick Oppmann CNN @CNN_Oppmann]

Just in: @JetBlue -the company that flew the first direct commercial flight to Cuba during the thaw in relations- has suspended flights to the island due to “changes to the regulatory landscape and restrictions on our customers’ ability to enter Cuba.”

The Cuban Revolution of 1959 had a significant impact on the use of #bicycles in #Cuba. The new government recognized the importance of bicycles as a mode of transportation and began promoting their use. The #government provided subsidies for bicycle production.

OFAC…visas…OFAC…visas. Learn about legal travel to Cuba
Let’s Cuba!

[SonDosAlas @sondosalas]

A second and just as important aspect about legal travel to Cuba is based on your entry visa from the Cuban government.
Son Dos Alas groups generally travel with D-type visas.
Your visa and your OFAC license are two different aspects of your travel to Cuba.

[SonDosAlas @sondosalas]

Travel to Cuba is legal and safe.
A network of federal laws, specifically the Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC), Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR), governs travel to Cuba for U.S. citizens and those under U.S. jurisdiction.
