...choreography flawlessly, moving with synchronized precision and thoroughly illustrating the contrasts between fluidity and rigidity which characterize the piece. The dancers are successful in bringing Balanchine’s choreography and Tchaikovsky’s stunning score together masterfully, producing a delightful performance.The second number is “Habit,” a modern piece choreographed by Brenda Divelbliss, artistic associate of the Harvard Dance Program. Although it is an abrupt transition from “Serenade,” the style of the work is fresh, edgy and strangely addictive. The dance tells the story of two couples...
