Two very diverse works that complement each other and show off the depth of talent within Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.

Dancers as athletic poets: Staatsballett Berlin in Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16 and Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar’s Saaba.

In a three-bill programme that opens its season, the Zurich Ballet celebrates works of three choreographers who all pioneered new genres in contemporary dance.

Program Two of the Fall for Dance festival , at New York City Center, is an ionic choreographers' digest. With works by Child's, Forsythe (For Semperoper Ballet Dresden) Ramirez -Wang and Naharin (for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater).

Ballet San Jose opens its 2014 season with Neoclassical to Now featuring works by Balanchine, Jorma Elo and Gaga founder Ohad Naharin, with delightful results.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's mixed program showcases three beautiful works at New York City Center.

I should start this review by being honest and explaining that I was not initially excited to see Ailey at City Center. I was prepared to be impressed by the company’s physical aesthetic and not much else – I often think of the company as finely-tuned robots who are capable of demonstrating technical virtuosity but not of moving me in a big way, emotionally.
