At 54, Jorge Esquivel has the noble bearing that marked his fourteen-year career with the Ballet Nacional de Cuba. He gained international recognition as the chivalrous partner of Alicia Alonso in the 1960s and '70s, and now brings the benefits of his Cuban training and experience to students at the San Francisco Ballet School, where he has been on the faculty since 1993. Writer Mary Ellen Hunt talks with Esquivel about his passion for teaching.
