Later in the same programme Carlos Acosta the world famous ballet dancer -frequently compared with Nureyev and Baryshnikov, spoke movingly of his childhood in Cuba. He was the youngest of eleven children and he and all the street kids adored M J's music and his dancing. Although they couldn't understand the words it didn't matter and they all started to brake dance. Carlos's father was so impressed he enrolled Carlos in a ballet school aged nine - unheard of in that milieu. Now world famous in his own right, Carlos says MJ is his hero. and there are many young people all over the world who have been similarly affected
