Carlos was trained through the Cuban state ballet system and danced at the Bolshoi when he was just 16. He is now acknowledged globally as one of the finest dancers of his generation. Dances includes 11 short works, mostly recent and little-seen ballets, including Kim Brandstrup's DK60, Derek Deane's Summertime, Michel Descombey's Dying Swan, and Ben Stevenson's Three Preludes. An excerpt from Frederick Ashton's Rhapsody is one of the few older works. As well as Acosta himself, dancers confirmed to appear are Florencia Chinellato and Amilcar Moret from Hamburg Ballet, Begona Cao and Arionel Vargas from ENB, Roberta Marquez and Steven McRae from The Royal Ballet, Miguel Altunaga and Pieter Symonds from Rambert Dance Company, and Veronica Corveas from Ballet Nacional de Cuba.
