It's been a long, drowsy winter--though if you're a dance buff, the American Repertory Ballet has put together the perfect showcase to jolt you out of hibernation.

The program was a celebration of dance both new and old--the world premiere of Douglas Martin's Firebird choreography, no less--a revisitation of the balletic past that was taut, nimble, and modern in about the right measure.

Performing at the Hamilton Stage, the American Repertory Ballet staged three joyous short ballets: VIVA VIVALDI, CARESS, and FAERIE TYME.
