雨中跳芭蕾的尼日利亚男孩

In June, a minute-long video featuring a young ballet student dancing in the rain began circulating on the internet. As the rain falls, forming puddles between the uneven slabs of concrete on which he dances, Anthony Mmesoma Madu, 11, turns pirouette after pirouette. The video caught the eye of the American Ballet Theatre, which gave him a scholarship and arranged Internet access for virtual training this summer. Next year, he will train in the United States on a scholarship from Ballet Beyond Borders.
