Salle: Joyce Theater, New York

A hypnotic evening with two percussionists and six dancers in Noé Soulier's The Waves, inspired by the Virginia Woolf novel.

An evening of Ronald K. Brown's choreography for his own company, Evidence, brought infectious joy and had the audience dancing in the aisles.

Global chaos has not deterred Cuba's Malpaso Dance from bringing two world premieres, one home-grown, and a Martha Graham debut to New York City – incredibly, with all-live-music accompaniment. 

A very entertaining performance but without its star Soledad Barrio, who was injured, there was a noticeable lack of cohesion.

A rare opportunity to see five male ballet superstars – notably Alban Lendorf, in great form long after injury sidelined him – in an intimate theater, in work exclusively by women.

While What The Day Owes To The Night with Compagnie Hervé Koubi was undoubtedly entertaining and beautiful to look at, the meaning or theme was highly ambiguous.

Rennie Harris' theatrical works of street dance have toured the globe. In American Street Dancer he focuses on the preservation of three distinct styles closer to home.
