Ballet Moves
by JUDITH MACKRELL for the Guardian

The Kirov might have just finished a killer season, but this week a diehard core links up with nine Royal Ballet dancers to perform a final programme. It's rare to see dancers from the two companies sharing a stage, but this venture also has interesting aspirations. Not only is much of its repertory new, but it is danced by a mixed Anglo-Russian cast, giving a rare snapshot of differences between the company styles.
