Yuli
Carlos Acosta's father, Pedro, calls him Yuli, the son of Ogun, an African god and fighter. Yuli avoids discipline and education as a child, learning on the streets of a destitute and abandoned Havana. His father, however, has different intentions and sends him to the National Ballet School of Cuba. He is the first black dancer to be placed in some of the most prominent ballet roles originally penned for white dancers, with organizations like the Houston Ballet or the Royal Ballet in London.
