From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Eric Underwood is an American British ballet dancer, a soloist with The Royal Ballet.
Underwood grew up in a poor Maryland suburb of Washington DC. It was not until he was 14 that he "accidentally ended up in a dance class", and later won a scholarship for New York's School of American Ballet.[1]
He joined the Dance Theatre of Harlem in 2000, and then the American Ballet Theatre in 2003, before joining London's Royal Ballet in 2006.[1][2]
