Ivan Putrov is Ukrainian rather than Russian (as is Polunin) but perhaps one shouldn't split hairs.
In reply to Alison, Spectre is to be danced by Putrov and Glurdjidze.

Obituary: Niles Ford, Dancer and Choreographer
by Jennifer Dunning
"With a long-boned body seemingly as pliant as warm taffy, Mr. Ford was a dancer of quiet intelligence, understated sweetness and intense focus."
NYCB's Megan Fairchild overcomes her reservations
Blooming in the Bright Lights
by Pia Catton
"I lost myself completely - getting promoted and feeling not ready, wishing I had more time behind the scenes, then being shot out in front and being critiqued while I'm figuring it out."
REVIEW: Hiroaki Umeda
2 stars
Haptic, Holistic Strata
UK, London, Linbury Studio Theatre
Dancers: Umeda
by Judith Mackrell
"One man, a few wonderful lighting ideas and some very brutal noise can make for a very long evening."
REVIEW: Hiroaki Umeda
3 stars
Haptic, Holistic Strata
UK, London, Linbury Studio Theatre
Dancers: Umeda
by Zoe Anderson
"Mixing dance, computer imagery and video projection, Umeda surrounds and transforms himself with shifting light, then stops. He refuses to develop the images or ideas: there they are, take it or leave it."
REVIEW: Young Jean Lee
4 stars
Untitled Feminist Show
USA, New York, Baryshnikov Arts Center
Dancers: BOB, Zirin-Brown
by Apollinaire Scherr
"Young Jean Lee has a reputation for sending issues that any self-respecting liberal assumes he has a handle on in squirm-inducing directions. But Untitled Feminist Show is less a thought-provoking trap than a taste of utopia."
REVIEW: Young Jean Lee
Live, nude, funny women
Untitled Feminist Show
USA, New York, Baryshnikov Arts Center
Dancers: Zirin-Brown, Clark
by Elisabeth Vincentelli
"The six women in Untitled Feminist Show are stark naked for the entire hour, during which they perform swoony pas de deux, energetic aerobics, comic pantomimes and assorted calisthenics in their birthday suits."
REVIEW: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
Up, Down and Sideways
Arden Court
USA, New York, City Center
by Joel Lobenthal
"It wasn’t always easy or comfortable for them to recreate Taylor’s overarching and paradoxical tone of balletic burliness, but they pulled it off - and with panache, I almost don’t have to add."
REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company
Up, Down and Sideways
Park Avenue Armory Event
USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory
by Joel Lobenthal
"There was a certain poignancy in not being able to totally apprehend all of the movement information being transmitted, particularly since this was our final opportunity to see this company."
REVIEW: Daniel Linehan
Zombies and Blackboards
Zombie Aphoria
USA, New York, Abrons Arts Center
Dancers: Lac, Linehan, Rosengren
by Susan Yung
"Working with spoken and sung words as much as dance, at times they took directives from a laptop, or one another; recombining verses, moving in a naively appealing style."
REVIEW: Michael Klien
Zombies and Blackboards
Choreography for Blackboards
USA, New York, Invisible Dog Art Center

by Deborah Jowitt
"Camacho, who had a hand in the creation of BLESSED, enacts this harrowing scenario magnificently. At times, you can hardly bear to watch him labor at constructing something out of total ruin."

Bolshoi Star Keeps Teacher Job
"I never requested anything from Bolshoi Theater management. I just explained my point-of-view and said I would be complaining to appropriate authorities in case the contract’s terminated."
Necessarily So: Porgy and Bess May Not Be Known as a Dance Show but Its Choreography Can Make a Difference
by Robert Gottlieb
"Porgy and Bess has never been thought of as a dance show, and yet it’s filled with dance. It uses dance to punctuate the action, or as background, or as atmosphere; even when it’s front and center it isn’t crucial."
Film review: Crazy Horse by Frederick Wiseman
The Agony Behind an Erotic Club’s Ecstasy
by A.O. Scott
"Ali Mahdavi ... declares that the French government should make attendance at Crazy Horse mandatory for all citizens as an educational experience and an acknowledgment of the institution’s place in the nation’s cultural patrimony."
Film review: Butt Seriously - Life is an Erotic Cabaret in Crazy Horse
by Melissa Anderson
"the filmmaker's exceptional artistry restores the faith of those wearied by the glut of cruddy-looking and poorly structured documentaries from the past decade - vapid celebrity profiles, "journeys" of one kind or another, half-thought-out polemics."
Preview: Keely Garfield brings her surreal autobiography style to Twin Pines
by Susan Reiter
"A highly regarded, thoughtful and instinctive choreographer whose pieces delve deeply while integrating flashes of wit, she notes that her ongoing work with yoga and Zen practices is closely connected to her work in dance."
The RA's David Hockney exhibition with a little tap at the end
by Richard Godwin
"A group of dancers choreographed by Hockney's old friend Wayne Sleep move around to a piano. In the penultimate dance, the Royal Ballet dancer Steven McRae steps onto a blue rectangle and begins to tap dance. Hockney and Sleep watched the performance together, both rhapsodising the particular shade of blue."
Book review: The Pursuit of Perfection: A Life of Celia Franca

Ahh, the good old days! But I think it's always fun not to know in advance - increases the anticipation.
-
I'm afraid there is no more information. It will be a programme of short new works by company members but what, by whom, and danced by whom are never announced in advance. Standard variable but always interesting and entertaining.

Wouldn't Oughtred have been with BRB by then?
You're right, but I was using 'Royal Ballet' as a generic term!
-
The Wise Virgins solo was revived for the dedication of the Ninette de Valois memorial in Westminster Abbey in November 2009. Danced then in tandem by the Royal Ballet's Natasha Oughtred and Romany Padjak. Some details towards the bottom of this page: http://www.balletassociation.co.uk/Pages/company.html

Hail and Farewell
Park Avenue Armory Event
USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory
Dancers: Collwes, Crossman, Desjardins, Goggans, Hinrichs, Madoff, Mitchell, Nelson, Riener, Scott, Toogood, Weber
by Deborah Jowitt
"Considering that for many years, he and his company performed under difficult conditions before an uncomprehending public, he was, I’m sure, tickled by the adulation that his dancers have been receiving in recent years. And he might might have been amazed by the rapt response at this final Event."
Preview: Come Fly Away, Chicago
by Hedy Weiss
"Frank DID come to a performance of Nine Sinatra Songs at the Uris Theatre in New York once, and it was fantastic,” Tharp recalled. “He took a huge freight elevator, walked out on stage to take a bow with the dancers, and the audience almost died."
Come Fly Away - a work in progress
Sinatra - filtered by Twyla, Vegas
by Chris Jones
"When Come Fly Away opens Jan. 10 in Chicago at the very suitable Bank of America Theatre, it will be fundamentally different from the show I saw on Broadway nine months ago."

Occupy The Armory!
by Brian McCormick
"It is the greatest feeling in the world to actually do something your mind tells you is impossible. We do this every day, all the dancers. Our rehearsals are electrifying."
The Globe and Mail's 2012 dance preview (Canada)
by Paula Citron
"What I’m least excited to see
The late choreographer Alvin Ailey created 79 works, but you wouldn’t know it given the tendency of the company he founded ... to include his 1960 signature Revelations at every performance."
Dance Stars of 2011
Graf was still off the charts when ranking dance stars
by Carolyn Kelemen
"Still, my fondest remembrance of Alicia's dancing came in late spring at the Ballet Royale studio on Red Branch Road, where she danced a solo for friends, families and, especially, for mentor Donna Pidel. Indeed, the Columbia native is the shiniest star in this planet's dance galaxy, and ranks first in our list of best dance performances of 2011."
Alvin Ailey, LC Sims and the posters
Leaping Into History
by Urban Gardiner
"I'm thinking of one poster in particular: It was last season's, and it starred company member Linda Celeste Sims looking like an airborne citizen of Avatar's Pandora. She's dressed in not much more than strategically placed streamers of turquoise body paint."
DESH performances cancelled

Trying Always to Please, Rarely to Challenge
Revelations, Journey, Arden Court, Home, Minus 16, Streams
USA, New York, City Center
Dancers: Mack, Sims LC
by Alastair Macaulay
"Strangely, the difference between good and bad choreography counts for less at Ailey than at anywhere else. The lure is neither the individuals nor the material they perform so much as a more generalized feeling of large-spiritedness that the Ailey company always delivers."

Minus 16, Home, Revelations
USA, New York, City Center
Dancers: Mack, Rushing
by Jocelyn Noveck
"Later, these dancers suddenly appear in the audience, looking around in a rather sinister way for partners to bring up onstage. At a recent performance, some of those recruited looked like deer in the headlights, but most of the amateur dancers were footloose and uninhibited, including one elderly woman who truly brought down the house ..."
Dancing Diplomacy: American Troupes to Tour Again for State Department
by Juie Bloom
"American dance companies are once again heading overseas to practice a kind of choreographed diplomacy as part of the second season of DanceMotion USA."
Dance Flash: Reflection and Anticipation Abound
by Becca Klarin
"Strangely, over the past few weeks, my brain keeps rolling over the past year like a silent black and white film, as I remember fun-filled flashbacks like watching RAWdance swoop through the dining area at Orson (never ever try to eat gnocchi while watching a duet! Your fork will miss your mouth every time)."
Le martyre de Saint Sebastien
by Sue Gilmore
"Next week, Michael Tilson Thomas dials the wayback machine on his long tenure with the San Francisco Symphony and returns to the highly unusual, overtly theatrical work by Claude Debussy that the conductor introduced to the Bay Area in its full form for the first time in his inaugural season in November of 1995."

Will Cunningham's Works Survive?
Park Avenue Armory Event
USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory
Dancers: Crossman, Goggans, Mitchell, Scott, Swinston
by Robert Greskovic
"As sell-out crowds at the Armory milled around the venue's vast Drill Hall for these final MCDC appearances - which took shape as sampler presentations of Cunningham's dances - the event, with dancers appearing on three separate raised stages, had the air of a fashion designers' runway show."

The Merce Cunningham Dance Company takes its last bow
Park Avenue Armory Event
USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory
by Robert Johnson
"Ironically this fiercely independent choreography, the thing Cunningham valued most, cannot survive without a company trained to perform it. The claim his troupe was euthanized to save the repertoire from decay makes no sense, since closing the company abruptly hastens this decline."
REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company
After The End Of Merce
Park Avenue Armory Event
USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

"Dancers cycled onto and off of the stage, moving with such ease and subtlety that it was hard to tell when an entrance or exit had been made until after it happened."

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker
Nutcracker!
UK, London, Sadler's Wells
Dancers: Brennan, North, Shaw, Trenfield, Vassallo, Westmoreland
by Roslyn Sulcas
"the creation of steps has never been Mr. Bourne’s strength. His gifts lie in his sense of theater, his wit and timing and his understanding of the dramatic essentials of the stories he has transformed through contemporary, almost allegorical settings."
REVIEW: Royal Ballet
London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker
UK, London, Covent Garden
Dancers: Hamilton, Ondiviela, Polunin, Hinkis

"More interesting were two junior leads, Meaghan Grace Hinkis as Clara and Ludovic Ondiviela in the Nutcracker/Nephew role, both notable for their lively, articulate musical phrasing and confident grace."

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker
Nutcracker
UK, London, O2 Arena
Dancers: Millar, Willis
by Roslyn Sulcas
"For the first half (I moved for the second act), this screen was the only way to see anything at all from where I was seated at orchestra level, which meant I had no sense of the transformation scene in which the drawing room and tree swell to immense proportions, nor of the oft-praised snowflake dance ..."

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker
UK, London, Coliseum
Dancers: Acosta Y, Kase

Staging a year in slow motion

The Nutcracker
USA, New York, Brooklyn Academy of Music

by Alastair Macaulay
"How can we add up the positive and negative aspects of this Nutcracker? I changed my mind at every performance. And I keep changing my mind about Mr. Ratmansky. When I say he is the finest artist choreographing in ballet today, I say so with mixed feelings about ballet itself."

Merce Cunningham Dance Company concludes
Park Avenue Armory Event
USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory
Dancers: Mitchell, Weber
by Susan Reiter
"The dancers bowed on each stage, then collected and held hands on the central stage for repeated bows. Ultimately, they had to leave us, and with their final exit, a powerfully significant and influential era in contemporary dance had come to a close."
Après Merce
by Alma Guillermoprieto
"Followers like myself also loved his senseless determination to make every piece new, even if it meant losing audience members unwilling to work that hard for the payoff: in a favorite story, his brother once asked, 'Merce, when are you going to make something people like?'"

Magical Night
UK, London, Linbury Studio Theatre
Dancers: Cooke, Gulgec, Randi, Ridley-DeMonick, Ruggeri, Adams-Camacho, Comerford-McDonald, Luo
by Roslyn Sulcas
"The happy ending, however, like much of the opening section, feels slightly formulaic, the choreography is often repetitive, and the show as a whole has - at least from an adult point of view - little of the sophistication and captivating magic of William Tuckett’s Faeries, last year’s Christmas production at the Linbury."
Daniil Simkin - Man of the moment

"In addition to working for the American Ballet Theater, Daniil Simkin travels the world appearing in galas and as a guest artist. Tracking his travels on Twitter gives one a whole new appreciation of the term jet-setter; the man is always on the move."

USA, New York, David H. Koch Theater
Dancers: Bouder, Fairchild M, Peck, Ulbricht, Veyette
by Claudia La Rocco
"opening night ... was an oddly low-energy and at times ragged affair. It had its highlights, to be sure, but the overall feel was dispiriting, in stark contrast to the generally marvelous onstage spirits that the dancers have exhibited in recent seasons."

USA, Washington, Kennedy Center
Dancers: Kondaurova, Korsuntsev, Lopatkina, Ostreikovskaya
by Sarah Kaufman
"several of the performances were quite wonderful, particularly Xenia Ostreykovskaya in the tender Prelude role in Chopiniana. There was suppleness and breath in her dancing, and great delicacy. And, a sense of the body harmonizing with the Chopin, and with its candlelight mood."

Bill T. Jones Takes a Turn on the Stage in New Work
by Felicia R. Lee
"Story/Time, a co-commission of Peak Performances and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis was inspired by the composer John Cage’s Indeterminacy, first performed in 1958, a series of one-minute spoken-word stories that was different each time it was performed and was eventually recorded as an album."

Company C Contemporary Ballet turns 10, flying high
