Carlos Acosta arrived on the dance scene a decade ago, and there’s been unreserved raving ever since.

The Cuban ballet star is, at 36, probably past his virtuoso peak, but he still has an almost magical combination of technical polish and theatrical restraint. When he knocks off multiple spins and airy leaps there is a double surprise — you can’t quite believe the brilliance of his dancing, nor the modesty of his manners.
