Dance

The Abay Kazakh State Ballet brings two Mikhail Fokine works – Chopiniana and Scheherazade – to the London Coliseum.

Esplanade was the last time the audience would ever see veteran Taylor dancers Michelle Fleet, Jamie Rae Walker, Parisa Khobdeh, Robert Kleinendorst, and Sean Mahoney onstage.

The Australian Ballet is impressive in this light, entertaining story ballet: a winner of an evening. 

Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Locally Sourced is all about the bounty of the furthest corner of the United States: dance, scenery, costumes and, of course, rain!

On the evidence of this performance, there is every reason to be cheerful.

A celebrity lineup of SDC alumni, experimental audience participation, and the usual virtuosic dancing make for a fun anniversary night.
