Reviews of Dance and Ballet Performances
David Bintley's Sylvia is a great piece of classical dance and escapist fun.
These are dancers worth following in a wide repertory of works; it’s a shame to see them go while feeling we’ve barely gotten to know them better.
After an absence of eleven years, the Royal Ballet has finally returned to New York; they’re currently presenting two programs at the Koch Theatre,..
Copeland has earned her place center-stage, and it seems more likely than ever that she will be promoted to principal.
The dancing was never short of extraordinary. The opening part showcased the cerebral seriousness of the Solea...
Battle (in No Longer Silent) responds with a brilliant visualization of the music’s intricate parts, a kind of neo-Rite of Spring for our time.

At 42, Acosta is still a powerful presence. A much-loved artist around the world, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest male dancers of his generation.
Ruth Brill's Matryoshka showed a lot of sense and maturity I thought - she clearly thinks about entertaining the audience.
Madame Butterfly is one of Nixon’s most effective narrative productions, combining japonaiserie with classical ballet conventions...
Harris’s Exodus, on the other hand, felt just right. Like so many pieces in the Ailey repertory, it suggests a spiritual quest, a journey toward the light...
The Richard Alston Dance Company concludes its spring tour with a series of performances at The Place, celebrating their 20th anniversary with premieres of new commissions and a revival of one of his classics...
