I feel so proud of you Carlos, we grew up in the same neighborhood, in Havana. I used to see you dancing Break Dance with Opito at school many many times, you both were explosive and despite I was very young at that time, something told me that you will arrive so far. Thanks for placing so high the name or our beautiful island, Cuba and the best of luck for your new projects there.
I literally just found about Carlos two days a go from coronavirus binge watching the Royal Ballet and I'm sobbing so hard. My heart can't take it. So passionate, hardworking and beautiful. Never seen him dance except a little bit in Carmen but from his rehearsal videos alone I love him.
Carlos: Unique in every way. Incredible talent and truly nice person, and so encouraging to young dancers. He broke the mould for male dancers and completely changed the public perception of ballet. Men have left the era of "supporting the ballerina" behind and produced new dynamic male dancers that audiences crave to see. How lucky audiences were, to see Carlos perform, live in cinemas around the world. Ballet has changed forever; and for the better.
I have had the privilege and pleasure in recent years of seeing Carlos performing many times in the Royal Opera House and elsewhere. He is not only an unsurpassed dancer, but also a humble and delightful person to meet at the stage door. His performance in "Giselle" in 2014 was unforgettable, as, indeed, was any performance he gave. His choreographic work in "Tocororo", "Don Quixote" and recently in "Carmen" are additional facets of his talent. I was at this final main-stage performance of "Carmen" at the ROH and the atmosphere at the curtain call was magical, the audience with lumps in their throats as we paid tribute to his wonderful career and thanked him for all the pleasure he has given over 17 years. Bravo, Carlos!!
I agree with your sentiments. Saw him at his very last performance after this, at the Albert Hall. Emotional , would not begin to describe it. Tears all round!!!
Absolutely my favorite male ballet dancer! Congratulations on a beautiful career. I do so hope you will grace the stage with your artistry from time to time again.
I was at Carlos last performance it was magical just fab he has given so much to ballet i am sure his legacy will be passed on thank you Carlos thankyou BRAVA BRAVA BRAVA!!!!!!!!!
This is so special ❤ I couldn't make it to this performance ^^ so I went to a matinée on the 31st just to see him... he was incredible. There's no-one like him 💙
His choreographed Don Quixote was the first ballet I saw and ever since I have loved watching him in comedy ballets. He has an amazing way of delivering humour through his expressions, not to mention his charming smile! I was in tears watching this farewell :') What a great gem he has been for ballet and dancers all over the world!
Great dancer and most humble and great personas, his advise is absolutly honest and right !!! Enjoy , and be curious cause time goes bye and the opportunity to be something beautiful is over
I saw him and Natalia osipova dance in Cuba - not personally. It was sort of like a rehearsal or demonstration- just in a studio or hall. Wonderful. I have the DVD with him and Natalia dancing giselle. Thank you Carlos. Guess because I have the DVD, I don’t think I’d known he’d retired . Good luck in future projects . A real gentleman 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

@@stefanocasti1584 coming back as Artistic Director Royal Birmingham Ballet, also touring with his own company
It looks very gay not my thing but very athletic and hard work too. Respect
Athletes. Few male dancers are gay. Stronger, more dedicated than footballers, but worse pay!
