Venue: New York City Center

In a tremendous triple bill at New York City Center, Martha Graham’s genius and Janet Elber’s stewardship of the company into the 21st century deserve to be celebrated, loudly. 

Alvin Ailey American Dancer Theater is in magnificent form for its New York City Center season. Never overselling, simply moving magically.

Dutch National Ballet's second mixed bill at New York City Center ticked all the right boxes, showcasing the depth of talent across the whole company.

Dutch National Ballet returning to New York after more than 40 years should have been thrilling. The opening program, whilst beautifully danced, was somewhat muted.

Much acclaimed in 2022, a mixed bill curated by Tiler Peck returns to New York City Center with new cast members.  

Hofesh Shechter's Red Carpet for Paris Opera Ballet offered brief harrowing elements in an otherwise tiresome evening, though the music, also by Shechter, was tremendous.

A very diverse mixed bill for Fall for Dance showed some top notch dancing though it was not entirely successful choreographically.

A perfect triple bill became a less perfect quadruple bill. Brilliant performances by dancers from Gibney, kNoname Artist, Paris Opera étoiles rarely seen in New York and – a rarity these days – live musicians.
