Contemporary Ballet is alive, thriving and pushing in Boston

Alexei Ratmansky and Justin Peck are all the more impressive among choreographers working today because of how many of their works seem destined to stay in the repertoire for a long time to come.

This program was a good one to inspire your confidence about the future of choreography.
