★★★★✰ Wink, best seen from above, is a valuable addition to BRB’s repertoire. So is José Limon’s The Moor’s Pavane, created in 1949.

★★★✰✰ Bintley has treated Shakespeare’s drama as a masque, full of spectacle, music and dancing, with elusive characters that are more allegorical than realistic. It doesn’t work as a narrative ballet because the sub-plots are too complicated...
★★★★✰ Whenever I see Michael Clark's company I usually come away energised and uplifted. Nobody fuses ballet to a youthful modern world like Clark does or reminds you that it's a tough technique that's been around a long time.
★★★✰✰ Yorke Dance Project is unusual, among small modern dance companies, in its respect for musicality and for the demands it makes for skilled partnering.

Beijing based TAO Dance Theater are returning to London in early October with a double bill including their latest work "8". A company with a very different perspective on dance performance we wanted to know more from their director - Tao Ye.
★★★★✰ I saw Programme C at Sadler's Wells and like practically everybody else, have to rave about the dancers.

★★✰✰✰ There is a great deal of ambition in the latest show from the superlative flamenco guitarist, composer and producer Paco Peña.
★★✰✰✰ A psychology degree might have been helpful in analysing Hofesh Shechter’s first triple bill; here returning to Sadler’s Wells where it premiered, last September.
★★★✰✰ Three of our leading contemporary choreographers added to the megawatt talent of these two Russian dancers (plus Polunin’s bad boy reputation), seems a surefire recipe for success. However, that’s not entirely the case.

★★✰✰✰ Marie Chouinard certainly has interesting and original ideas - hurrah for that - but an editor would really help make the best of them sparkle.
