This spring, the many sides of dance take center stage raw and wild, soulful and structured in a program packed with company premieres, a Robbins classic, and a burst of Balanchine brilliance.

Jerome Robbins kicks things off with Glass Pieces, a thrilling blend of postmodern movement and classical ballet. Inspired by the nonstop energy of city life, this electrifying work pulses to the hypnotic rhythms of Philip Glass.

The company premiere of José Limón's Chaconne brings a moment of quiet intensity. Originally performed by Limón himself, this stunning solo set to Bach's deeply expressive violin music balances precision with pure emotion.

A returning favorite, Balanchine's Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux is an eight-minute masterclass in ballet bravado short, stunning, and supremely cherished. It's a thrill ride for dancers and audiences alike.

The program closes with a company premiere: Alexei Ratmansky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Ten dancers bring Mussorgsky's legendary score to life against a backdrop of Kandinsky's Color Study: Squares with Concentric Circles. It's a ballet that's as vibrant and unexpected as the art that inspired it.

Spring Mix is a feast for the senses, where every moment is a masterpiece.
