As the adage goes, “Youth will be served,” and this program celebrates just that. Students from the School of American Ballet perform two of Robbins’ utterly enchanting works: Circus Polka, with the tiniest of dancers, and Fanfare, a rousing, light-hearted spin through the world of orchestral music. Moves forgoes musical accompaniment and enthralls with the unexpected intensity it derives through movement alone. The Cage is one of Robbins’ most famous ballets. Dark and deadly, it plunges into the natural world of selection and survival as a novice must make life and death decisions. Four Bagatelles is a tender pas de deux, being brought back this season after a long absence.
