    Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta is currently one of the top world's ballet
    figures and a superstar of the London Royal Ballet Covent Garden with
    which he'll dance in the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow this month.

    Performing in the Bolshoi Theatre is a challenge and a good pretext for
    the renowned hit maker to show his extraordinary athleticism and
    remarkable technical virtuosity as the famous Russian Ballet Company's
    director Alexei Ratmanski said.

    Watching Carlos Acosta dance Spartacus ` by the Armenian composer Aram
    Khachaturian ` should be a breathtaking experience due to his
    outstanding Cuban National Ballet School-style technique and personal
    grace, key factors of his unique performances.

    "As a Cuban man, Acosta has a revolutionary passion, vital for the
    characters he stages. Besides such a heroic and virile image in dancing
    is uncommonly seen in the contemporary dancers" Ratmanski said to the
    critics.

    Today there are only four dancers that can play Spartacus in the
    Bolshoi; Belogolovtsev, Klevtsov, Matvienko and Vorobiov. And now
    Carlos Acosta joins our Company as soloist guest star to dance not
    only in Moscow but also to open London's ballet season from July 30 on.

    Recognized with the highest credits and acclaimed by classic ballet
    lovers worldwide Acosta has conquered most demanding specialized
    criticism thanks to his unparallel and purest technique and of course
    the artistic formation acquired at the Cuban Ballet Company School
    co-founded by Alicia and Fernando Alonso, whose graduates are highly
    praised for their brilliant performances.
