Nederlands Dans Theater ReviewApril 4, 2024 | New York City Center – New York City, NY, USAThere is no question that the Nederlands Dans Theater dancers are tremendous. If we could map the etchings of dance movement in the air, the artists would move beyond any pre-existing blueprints.

American Ballet Theatre Fall Review October 21, 2023 | David H. Koch Theater – New York, NY, USAThe pressure of curating a seat-selling season is nothing new to an Artistic Director but as American Ballet Theatre’s fall 2023 season is Susan Jaffe’s first in her new leadership position, the opportunity for scrutiny is elevated. Jaffe calls her selections “indicative of the foundations of our artform as much as it signals the direction in which ABT and ballet are evolving”.
