Graffiti-style banners hang from the rafters. There’s a table set with a bottle of rum, and here come the dancers, partying their way onto the stage, dressed in splashy colours and looking like they’re having the time of their lives. The cast of Havana Street Party, made up from several Cuban dance groups, definitely know how to create a fiesta atmosphere. 

The music is a mix of Latin-pop hits and more traditional-flavoured Cuban tunes, and the dance similarly flits from salsa to various types of hip hop and Cuban rumba (the African-influenced fast dance, as opposed to the slow ballroom kind you’ll see on Strictly). There are dance battles and live singing, close partner dancing and coordinated formations. The dancers combine tight unity with loose flair and natural musicality, reminding you of Cuba’s unique place in the dance world; a country that balances rigorous training with a culture of dance in everyday life. 

They create such an easy, welcoming vibe that, as an encore, the cast of another show who have come along to watch (Yes-Ya-Yebo! from South Africa, playing at Laughing Horse @ The Counting House) join them onstage for a brilliant improvised dance-off. Fabulous, uplifting fun.

Havana Street Party, Underbelly Bristo Square, until 27 August, 5.30pm; plus Museum Late: Fringe Fridays, National Museum Of Scotland, 18 August, 7.30–10.30pm.
