The answer was yes and his big break came at the age of 13, when he came to London for the first time to dance with his uncle in Carlos's show Tocororo, a loosely autobiographical work that had particular significance for [Yonah Acosta] because he played his uncle as a boy. Now they live here together, but the famous name can sometimes be a mixed blessing. \"Of course I'm proud to be his nephew,\" he says, \"but it is difficult because when I dance often people don't even call me by my name. It's not, 'There's Yonah'; it's, 'There's the nephew of Carlos Acosta.' Often, I feel people are not looking at me as myself, as the person who is dancing.\"

Other gifted young dancers include the athletic Russian principal Vadim Muntagirov, a cool character often seen listening to music through his earphones on the sofas in the common room or eating alone in the kitchen between classes. He is looked upon by his colleagues as being \"on another level\". After a recent assessment of the whole company, it was revealed that Muntagirov, 23, can jump the highest \"by a long way\". Also not to be forgotten are the sweet-natured Brazilian Junor Souza, who will dance as the Nutcracker Prince, and the shaggy-haired 21-year-old Colombian Joan Sebastian Zamora, who joined only this year but is already showing signs of becoming another of those \"explosive\" types identified by [Tamara Rojo]. Alongside the youthful and bright-eyed are more experienced stars like Georgian-born mother-of-one Elena Glurdjidze. Four years ago she performed an impromptu four-minute solo piece from Swan Lake for Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld during a costume fitting (\"I was very nervous, I still wear the tutu for charity galas and every time I see a feather drop I panic\", she says while stretching in the splits) and also lead principal dancer Alina Cojocaru. A recent addition from the Royal Ballet, she is the jewel in Rojo's crown. Never without her beloved long-haired chihuahua Charlie, who she carries around in a special \"doggie\" handbag and has himself become an honorary member of the company, she is delicately spoken with a steely determination. \"I always knew there was a bigger world out there than the Royal Ballet. In some theatres experimenting is criminal and in others it is encouraged. Here I do not know much of the politics in the back office. I can just go to the studio and do my work - it is a relief,\" she says. It is Cojocaru's work ethic which Rojo hopes the younger dancers will follow. \"If it is 11.30pm and I still have some energy I will continue to work, go to the gym for half an hour, practise my steps. Only then will I feel I have got the best out of my day,\" she adds. At the mention of her attractive contingent of male dancers, her serious expression at once breaks out into a smile: \"I am not blind,\" she giggles. \"I am also aware that it is something that also counts when I bring dancers in. I have a very handsome group of people here.\" She reveals: \"There are a couple more dancers from other companies outside of the UK I have my eye on. I want to bring them to the ENB next year but I won't tell you who they are because I don't want anyone else to pinch them.\"

My high-pressure life means I haven't yet had time to assemble enough reminders of Cuba here, and I'll be searching for oil paintings of Havana on my next trip. The photograph beside my bed says a lot about my history, though, since it shows me, my mother, my 14-year-old nephew Yonah Acosta and my father; like the mere fact of living in London, it's a reminder of how life has changed since my childhood in a poor area of Havana. My father was a truck-driver but it was he who insisted I take ballet lessons as a way of keeping me from going off the rails; now Yonah is dancing too - he plays the young lead in Tocororo, has won prizes and is showing great promise as a dancer. Yonah's mother Marilin, my sister, has done the costumes for the show. As you go down to the lower floor there are four photographs in the hallway of me in action, chosen not because they're of me but because they're by the dance and theatre photographer Anthony Crickmay. They're about the only reference in the flat to my professional life, which is probably a good idea.

Like Channing Tatum before him, [Joel Edgerton] is set to continue his passage from roughly sanded beefcake to smoothy rounded actor. After strong turns in Animal Kingdom and The Great Gatsby, he'll next appear in Ridley Scott's Exodus as Ramses, and out-glower Michael Shannon in Midnight Special - he's even written Felony, a detective drama in which he stars. BBT \"He seizes that minute like a motherfucker,\" was T Bone Burnett's assessment of [Oscar Isaac]'s turn in the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis, the story of New York's 60s folk scene that Burnett helped score. Isaac seizes the film from co-stars Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan in the most downbeat way possible. BBT 24 January. [Keith Akushie]'s IMDb page currently lists one entry, as a writer for a single episode of Fresh Meat in 2011. But in 2014, that will change. Akushie has written a new sitcom for BBC3 called Siblings, starring Charlotte Ritchie and Tom Stourton. We don't know how funny it'll be. But fingers crossed. SH BBC3, spring.
