February 4 and 5 @ 8:00 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n Miro Magloire’s New Chamber Ballet at City Center<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Magloire\u2019s choreographic inspiration is music. Lately, the German-born, composer-choreographer has been inviting emerging dance makers to his evenings at City Center\u2019s studio. The program will include three world premieres: Constantine Baecher’s Sketches Of A Woman Remembering <\/em>(a t<\/span>rio to music by Debussy),\u00a0Emery LeCrone’s solo to a violin sonata by Saint-Saens, and another trio by Magloire, which will uncharacteristically be performed in near silence.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n February 7 @ 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a>BAC Flics: Mondays with Merce<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Two films by former Cunningham filmmaker-in-residence Charles Atlas will be screened at the Baryshnikov Arts Center. The first, Sounddance<\/em> (1975), includes a percussive score by David Tudor. The second, Pond Way<\/em> (1998), features a pointillist backdrop by Roy Lichtenstein and a Brian Eno score, said to be mesmerizing. Regardless of the sounds, the Cunningham dancers possess a physicality found nowhere else. Think panther meets machine. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n February 8-13 (curtain times vary) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Ronald K. Brown\/Evidence at the Joyce Theater<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Brown\u2019s 25th<\/sup> anniversary season will include the world premiere of On Earth Together<\/em>, set to music by Stevie Wonder (program A only). The Brooklyn-born choreographer grew up performing modern dance, but he found his choreographic voice through Cuban, Caribbean, and West African dance vocabularies. His work is joyous and thoughtful, a rare combination.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n February 11 and 12 @ 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n Dancemopolitan presents Kyle Abraham\/Abraham.In.Motion and Friends (Joe\u2019s Pub)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/span><\/strong>Called Heartbreak and Homies<\/em>, this cabaret-style, laidback Valentine\u2019s day-inspired event should be sweetly sly and definitely silly, thanks to the invited dancers, which include Alex Escalante and Faye Driscoll. <\/span>Out Magazine<\/em> recently called Abraham, who will perform, one of New York\u2019s 100 most eligible gay bachelors. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n February 15-20 (curtain times vary)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a>Buglisi Dance Theatre at the Joyce Theater<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Artistic Director Jacqulyn Buglisi made a name performing principal roles with the Martha Graham Dance Company. Her 17-year-old troupe offers highly dramatic dances that feature strong women. Buglisi\u2019s choreography is painterly, occasionally overwrought, but always beautifully performed. For her New York season, she will present two world premieres: Letters of Love on Ripped Paper<\/em> and Requiem<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n February 22 \u2013 March 6 (curtain times vary)<\/span><\/p>\n Paul Taylor Dance Company at City Center<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In 12 days, the company will unfurl 16 dances by its namesake choreographer.

Koch Theater)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n With a commissioned score by David Lang, who won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in Music, Millepied\u2019s Plainspoken<\/em> promises to be a well-attended City Ballet event. The work premiered last summer at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, months before Millepied became renowned as the ballet consultant for Darren Aronofsky\u2019s vampire film Black Swan<\/em>. Plainspoken<\/em>, says Millepied, is inspired by the personalities of the dancers who helped realize the ballet.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n February 24 @ 8 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n Paco Pena at Town Hal<\/strong>l<\/a><\/p>\n Guitar maestro Paco Pe\u00f1a and his Flamenco Dance Company will present their new production Flamenco Vivo<\/em>, which includes a cast of guitarists, percussionists, vocalists and three male dancers\u2014\u00c1ngel Mu\u00f1oz, Ram\u00f3n Martinez, and Charo Espino. This should be a Gypsy-style, testosterone-fueled, must-see event.
