Dance

SF Ballet’s moving tribute featured beautifully matched excerpts from works choreographed by the departing artistic director.

The SF Ballet principal and others talk openly about their own battles in a high-stress, physically demanding profession.

Artist Ranu Mukherjee and choreographer Hope Mohr talk about their in-depth collaboration.

Helgi Tomasson’s Prism is a fitting highlight to celebrate the artistic director’s spectacular career.

The choreographer talks about the groundbreaking work she and her group have done and what makes them distinctive.

SF Ballet’s pairing of the venerable La Sylphide with an Alexei Ratmansky premiere is a roaring success. 

Choreographer John Neumeier stages Bach’s masterful oratorio with the dancers of the Hamburg Ballet.

The West Coast premiere of Nicolas Blanc’s Under the Trees’ Voices stands out among works first premiered digitally in 2021.

Inspired by a lost dance from 1952, this major new work is set to a score by jazz pianist/composer Jason Moran, performed live by Wild Up on March 19.

SF Ballet’s production melds the classic story with terrific music, astonishing dancing, and splendid staging. Don’t miss it.
