IMHO, it's fine here grace. As you say there is talk of a traditional ballet vocabulary; the writer describes the works as ballets; the two dancers mentioned are both from Washington Ballet. In any case i have never seen our categories as strictly defined boxes, but more a convenience to make the items more easily assimilated.
