Great novels make bad ballets. There might be exceptions to this rule, but this isn't it. 

I have a theory that Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet is a perfect starter ballet. It is harder for experienced ballet regulars to work up the same enthusiasm for this ballet. 

Final verdict on Woolf Works? It’s sprawling, uneven, with parts that are thrilling and other parts that are prosaic and shallow.

Even within a line-up boasting some of the greatest international stars from across the world, it is the youngest couple, making their UK debuts, who captivate the audience.

ABT’s Romeo and Juliet features a debut where Cassandra Trenary almost completely follows Margot Fonteyn’s example in interpretation.

American Ballet Theatre shows its range with pieces from George Balanchine, Alonzo King, and Jessica Lang, but the dancing and choreography remain uneven throughout. 

New York City Center’s annual Fall for Dance festival heads online in a pair of programs, one much stronger than the other. 

Kevin McKenzie's production of Swan Lake at ABT usually has little to commend it, but Christine Shevchenko's Odette/Odile is the real deal. 

As the wonderful Tharp trio program proves, all these years later Twyla Tharp can still make ballet look cool.

American Ballet Theatre's Whipped Cream should be seen for Ryden's sets and costumes alone. A free-floating eye and a sweetshop whose ingredients come to life create a very surreal world.

Damian Woetzel puts together programs, musicians and dancers with a creative curator’s eye and gets the most out of the new combinations. This show was great.

With INTENSIO, a program of new dances he commissioned, Simkin is clearly making a major move.

ABT has always been a place where stars shine brightest and this night had a whole constellation of them.

The YAGP Gala showcases young dancers who will go on to lead the world's ballet companies.
