cubanmiamiboy Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 . Absolutely. I would also like to note that he comes from that 70's 80's generation of cuban dancers (Esquivel, Salgado, Candia) that were highly influenced by the Bolshoi style . Oh, and i almost forgot t to add that he is uncle of ABT's principal Jose Manuel Carreno. Link to comment
