Jeanne Ruddy's "Earth Moves'
In its seventh season, Jeanne Ruddy Dance Company is still establishing its aesthetic as a chamber modern dance company, and this program had the feel of a recital.

Pennsylvania Ballet's 'Carmina Burana'
Matthew Neenan has scrapped all of the famous John Butler choreography that allegorically tapped into the social, sexual and civil unrest of the ‘60s and interpreted the medieval poems into a spacey journey for a menagerie of exotic dance creatures. But several chunks of the piece, particularly the transitional narrative content, have the feel of a middle draft.

Rubberbandance Group
Don’t be turned off by its gimmicky name. Rubberband’s dancers, some of them classically trained, are upping the ante in terms of what people expect from hip-hop.

Pennsylvania Ballet's 'Giselle'
Classical ballet fans who attended the opening night of Pennsylvania Ballet’s Giselle will be able to say that they were there the night a ballet star— the electrifying Gabriella Yudenich— was born. Another new soloist, Sergio Torrado, stalked the stage like a panther.

Richard Alston Dance Company
This is no pretty dance display; it’s diamond-hard post-Balanchine modernism. And many in the audience found it exhausting.
Richard Alston Dance Company. Presented January 18, 2007, by Dance Celebration, at Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut St. (215) 636-9000 or www.dancecelebration.org.

Pennsylvania Ballet's 'Nutcracker'
Balanchine’s technical requirement for every level of dancer comes into play here. The Pennsylvania Ballet’s production more than covers its bases on this score, even though technically this pageant usually ranges all over the place, and that was certainly true in the performance I saw.
The Nutcracker. Ballet by George Balanchine; music by Tchaikovsky. Pennsylvania Ballet production through December 31, 2006 at Academy of Music, Broad and Spruce Sts. 215.551.7000

Grands Ballets Canadiens at Annenberg
Under the new artistic directorship of the Macedonian Gradimir Pankov, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens put on a brave tour show, danced with conviction without displaying individual strengths, personalities or even the company’s choreographic variety.
