A preview of Miami City Ballet's new mixed bill.

Quote

Lopez appealed to the Balanchine and Robbins trusts and struck a deal; her company could have “Firebird,” with redesigned sets and costumes. Miami City Ballet has gone a step further, with 3-D projections that bring the forests and other fantasy landscapes to vivid life.

San Diego Ballet presents a mixed bill for Valentine's Day.

Quote

San Diego Ballet was given permission by the Royal Ballet Trust to perform the lovely, lighthearted “Voices of Spring,” a pas de deux ballet by Sir Frederick Ashton. Through much of the dance, the ballerina is lifted and moves as if she dances on air

A review of New York City Ballet by Leigh Witchel for dancelog.nyc.

Quote

Mira Nadon showed real promise taking on the double role in “Monumentum Pro Gesualdo/Movements for Piano and Orchestra.” Like Farrell, who was the first dancer to combine both roles, she is tall, lush, and softly curved. Even more, she had the angelic calm “Monumentum Pro Gesualdo” calls for, but also a looseness as she dove into a six o clock penchée. Even with a very human glitch – a lift aborted because it was happening in the wrong direction, the ballet still felt heavenly.

Alberta Ballet presents a triple bill.

Quote

A response to tragedy, wildflowers waving in the breeze, and what might be the magnum opus of a bonafide genius. All that takes off in leaps and bounds when Alberta Ballet is Unleashed over three contemporary and classic works this weekend.

A merican Repertory Ballet presents "Giselle."

Quote

For Aldeir Monteiro, it’s a ballet he first fell in love with as a kid, when he was also discovering other quintessential works like “Don Quixote” and “Swan Lake.” He was so excited to learn that he was going to play the lead part of Albrecht, he practically did a double cabriole derrière (that's like clicking your heels in the air for those of us who can not dance ballet).

A new exhibition spotlights the interplay between ballet and fashion.

Quote

But it’s not all stage wear. Weave through the exhibit’s mannequins, all in outfits that wouldn’t be out of place in a technicolor Busby Berkeley scene, and you will notice plenty of couture gowns alongside the leotards. Sometimes it’s hard to tell an evening dress from a Juliet costume. That’s the point. 

“Ballet costumes influenced fashion, and fashion influenced ballet costumes,” Mears said. “This interplay, I think, was very, very rich during the mid-century.”
