...Harvard dance enough? Well, let's avoid that question and move on to: the Harvard-Radcliffe Ballet Company presents dancers for dancers' sakes. No more "passion sequences" a la 70s mainstage musicals. This is the real thing: bits from all over, Bach's Toccata in Fugue, Rhapsody in Blue, Firebird, and Mainly Jazz's peculiar Starbucks blend. Both April 17 and 18, 8 p.m., at the Reiman Dance Center...

After attending a Catholic kindergarten, Adrian is a first-grader in a public school that his father...
...Fokine bill is a showcase for the company's talent, stronger among the women than the men. The troupe seems to relish exotic plumage. The Firebird production is a grandiose set-piece, reveling in the folk story instead of flattening it. It also underscores the fact that the Kirov's best ballerina is still Altynai Asylmuratova, 34.
