Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Paul Taylor Dance Company

A letdown and a triumph at the Paul Taylor Dance gala this week, featuring new works by Lauren Lovette and Robert Battle, both resident choreographers, she in her 4th year, he in his 2nd. 

From disturbing to daffy: a searing indictment and a gentle parody, both from Paul Taylor, at Lincoln Center in New York, as his company continues to pack houses in its fall season.

Company B and Esplanade bookended a popular mixed bill from Paul Taylor Dance Company in the first week of their ambitious fall season at New York's Lincoln Center.  

An interesting triple bill with some rarely seen Paul Taylor works carefully reconstructed. Esplanade still sends the audience home filled with joy.

An intriguing reconstruction of an early work by Paul Taylor created on Pina Bausch and Dan Wagoner and a classic of barbed satire made a powerful triple bill by PTDC.

The season has had enthusiastic crowds, Taylor classics were well-danced and PTDC will always have Esplanade to make audiences happy.

A chilling masterpiece, a tribute to a beloved dancer, and the announcement of a new resident choreographer galvanized the Paul Taylor Dance gala audience at New York's Lincoln Center.

It was a priceless chance to see some of the best and rarest of Paul Taylor.

Sandwiched between two of Paul Taylor's greatest hits was Larry Keigwin's Drum Circle, new this season, with a tremendous live score by William Catanzaro.

PTDC really returned in a weeklong residence at City Center and the company looks to be in good overall shape.

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

Everywhere you look, there is kindness, consideration and generosity of spirit.

Paul Taylor American Modern Dance is getting ready for the transition to the time when it will have to go on without its founder and creative spirit.

Program 3 captures the multiplicity in contemporary dance.  

The Paul Taylor dance company presents 10 pieces at the Yerba Buena Center, incuding the 1978 Diggity which is refreshingly simple in its movement, with a dollop of dearness and a dash of the absurd. 

In a radiant rendition of the classic Esplanade, Paul Taylor's dancers remind us that dancing is, above all, about joy.
