To Dance Like a Man

Eleven-year-old Cuban identical triplets Angel, César, and Marcos have the same goal: to dance in a major ballet production at Havana’s Grand Theatre. The talented, charismatic boys are encouraged by their teachers, ballet star José Carreño, and a culture that takes enormous pride in its dancers. An unprecedented look at the rigorous Cuban National Ballet School.

Q&A: Eduardo Vilaro and Caridad Martinez with choreographer Peter Pucci. Vilaro is Ballet Hispanico’s Artistic Director and Martinez is Ballet Mistress. She danced in and coached the boys in the Cuban National Ballet Company.
