Yuli
Carlos Acosta's father, Pedro, calls him Yuli, the warrior-god Ogun's son. From the alleys of an abandoned Havana, Yuli learns without discipline or schooling. He attends the National Ballet School of Cuba, but his father has other plans for him. He is the first black dancer to be cast in some of the most prominent ballet parts intended for white dancers, in companies such as the Houston Ballet or the Royal Ballet in London, despite his numerous escapes and initial bad behavior.
