Some excellent individual performances but a disappointing program for Contemporary Choreography I with New York City Ballet.
Few signs of heat in a mixed bill at New York City Ballet
New York City Ballet offered a few exhilarating moments in a mishmash of a program from the company with arguably the greatest rep in the world.
An historic moment at New York City Ballet, long overdue
What took so long, you may wonder, to get three female choreographers on a triple bill at New York City Ballet. This one yielded three keepers.
