Carlos Acosta is one of ballet’s superstars, known for his extraordinary athleticism and remarkable technical virtuosity. Now, for the very first time in London, he will join forces with guest dancers from the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, in a programme of classical ballet which has a distinctly Cuban feel.

From the age of nine Acosta trained at the National Ballet School of Cuba. Inspired by Alicia Alonso's Ballet Nacional de Cuba he went on to become the greatest ballet dancer of his generation; and a national hero in Cuba.

The Ballet Nacional de Cuba is renowned for its unparalleled technique. Watching Carlos Acosta dance with artists from this remarkable company, including Viengsay Valdes, Anette Delgado and Javier Torres, promises to be a breathtaking experience, not to be missed.

Press Reviews:

"Technical fireworks with brilliant charm and awesome ease...":

THE TELEGRAPH on Ballet Nacional de Cuba

"Cuba has consistently produced wonderful classical dancers... bringing a joyful flair to ballet which is comparable to the Brazilian genius for football..."

THE OBSERVER on Ballet Nacional de Cuba.

I hope that we can have some attendants from BT to report back.
