...seems, is a guy-Antony Bassae. Along with the nine other "ballerinos" of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, Bassae performs in satin toe shoes and starched tutus. The Trock less than two years ago started in Manhattan Soho lofts and neighborhood shoebox theaters. This week it makes a leap into respectability with a four-night stand at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In addition to aiming choreographic broadsides at such sacred swans as George Balanchine ("Go for Barocco") and Martha Graham ("Phaedra/Monotonous"), the Trock delivers a few pointed comments on Tchaikovsky's Le Lac des Cygnes...

Like Mikhail Baryshnikov, the ballet dancer whom she idolizes, Dorothy never shows preparation for a leap. She seems to hang nonchalantly in flight. Her most beautiful move is a delayed Axel in which she hangs suspended before completing 1½ revolutions in the air. Skating fanciers also admire Dorothy's spins: high-speed yet delicate rotations within rotation. They seem effortless...
