Yuli

Juan Carlos Acosta is known by the nickname Yuli, given to him by his father, Pedro, who believed him to be the son of Ogun, an African god who is also a fighter. Yuli escapes discipline and school as a child, instead learning on the streets of an impoverished and abandoned Havana as a result of his upbringing. In contrast to his mother, his father believes that his son have a natural ability for dance and thus sends him to the National Ballet School of Cuba to further his training. He is captivated to the world of dance, despite his numerous escapes and his initial poor behavior, and begins shaping his renowned career from a young age, becoming the first black dancer to be cast in some of the most coveted ballet roles, originally designed for white dancers.
