British Choreography
Birmingham Royal Ballet - 'Strictly Dancing'
by David Mead -- October 6, 2007, Hippodrome Theatre, Birmingham
For many in Birmingham, the highlight was the final piece of the three, the company’s first production of Ashton’s 1951 version of “Daphnis and Chloe”, only previously danced in Britain by The Royal Ballet.

Morphoses - The Wheeldon Company
by Ana Abad-Carles -- September 21, 2007, Sadler's Wells Theatre, London
It seemed strange that a choreographer who writes "Ballet isn't just about heritage. The Sleeping Beauty is immensely important, but it is not necessarily everyone's first choice for a night out" as Wheeldon does in the opening programme notes, chooses Balanchine's "Allegro Brillante" as the opening ballet for his new company.

Siobhan Davies - 'Two Quartets'
by Annie Wells -- October 3, 2007, Queen Elizabeth Hall, South Bank Centre, London
Solid and coherent, “Two Quartets” worthily marked the current position of British dance stalwart Siobhan Davies’ four-decade spanning career. Simple and spare, quality triumphed over quantity in this work of two parts. Set astride an interval, it was superficially easy to consume. But for those wanting more than just a visual tid-bit; there was plenty both within and between the disparate halves to sustain a more cerebral analysis.

Miami City Ballet In Detroit
by Buddy
I find the Miami City Ballet to be absolutely--Lovable. From my first glimpse of some of the dancers going to the practice barre, to my listening to Edward Villella's expression of his love of his art and of his dancers at a pre-dance discussion, to the actual performances, I felt a loving gentle presence.

 Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Company
by Carmel Morgan -- October 12, 2007, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC
This year marks the fifteenth anniversary season of Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Company (“DTSB & Co.”), a modern dance troupe whose insightful works reflect the Asian-American perspective of its founding artistic director, Dana Tai Soon Burgess, and the varied backgrounds of its dancers, many of whom also have ties to Asia. The weekend’s two gala performances at the Kennedy Center were sold out, a testament to the enormous popularity of this unique hometown company.

 Kirov Ballet - 'Silenzio: Diana Vishneva'
by Catherine Pawlick -- October 7, 2007, Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg, Russia
"Silenzio: Diana Vishneva”, an evening featuring the ballerina within the theme of mute movement, juxtaposed a compendium of ballet excerpts against a minimalist, escapist background that left plenty of food for thought. Created by Andrei Moguchi, Alexei Kononov and Konstantin Uchitel, the evening was based on “the motif of silence” described in the program notes.

 Tulsa Ballet - 'Romeo and Juliet'
by Gretchen Collins -- September 29, 2007, Civic Center Music Hall, Thelma Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Tulsa Ballet’s production of “Romeo and Juliet” was more bittersweet than usual due to the sudden death of its choreographer Michael Smuin. He died last April in the studio of his Smuin Ballet dance company while teaching class. The former artistic director of San Francisco Ballet, he was the recipient of a Tony, an Emmy and a Drama Desk Award. “His departure was a great loss for the American dance community,” said Marcello Angelini, artistic director with Tulsa Ballet.
