The Smuin Ballet presents this year's spring series, featuring three diverse works that showcase the company's skill and exemplify the fresh and youthful spirit of spring. From choreographer Helen Pickett, who studied as a dancer under Michael Smuin at the San Francisco Ballet School, comes the West Coast premiere of Petal, an effervescent piece set to music by Philip Glass and Thomas Montgomery Newman, that was called "the perfect piece for spring" by Atlanta Magazine. Darrell Grand Moultrie gives Bay Area audiences their first look at his JAZZIN', a sultry ballet set to jazz music by Wynton Marsalis, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Andy Razaf. Finally, Michael Smuin's romantic and lovely Chants d'Auvergne is a series of solos, duets, trios and ensemble pieces set to traditional French songs arranged by Joseph Cantaloube. Learn More

Our family thoroughly enjoyed watching this event on this evening and many other dates in the past. We highly endorse this company and all their works to convey the beauty of true meaning of communication through movements as in wholesome dance.

Written on Mar 19 2012Good contemporary dance show (not so much jazz despite the second ensemble's name). Very enjoyable for dance fans and students. I didn't know these groups were local-hope to see them more!
