Katy Pyle has broken and rewritten every rule of classical ballet in her recreation of the Ballets Russes staple, The Firebird, performed as part of Danspace Project at St Mark's Church in the Bowery.

BWW Reviews: American Ballet Theatre's Triple Bill
I was looking forward to American Ballet Theater's triple bill on May 21 with anticipation, because I had seen one of the ballets, Frederick Ashton's A Month in the County, years ago, and always held it in warm esteem.

BWW Reviews: Blue Lapis Light's Encore Engagement of HEAVEN-EARTH-ONE is Heavenly

BWW Reviews: John Cranko's ONEGIN at American Ballet Theatre
