The entire “Glow-Stop” will be performed in the season’s first program (Feb. 14-16, 2014). Ballet is also about the pas de deux, the basic unit that focuses attention on one man and one woman. Every traditional ballet has at least one; galas have many. Lining them up one after another may not make for especially good programming, but they do offer the advantage of showcasing your very best dancers in intricate choreography. Carreño’s guests on Saturday included some of the top dancers in the country. They brought many gifts, some more valuable than others.

And then she moved through the entrance and into the ring, where she melted into a throng of moving, circling dancers.
