The six-course tasting menu ($26)?starting with a delicate amuse bouche of parmesan and rosemary, and ending with a decadent chocolate mousse souffl? served with coconut sorbet?is not so much fusion food as French classics with a tropical twist.

As in past renditions, elements of the scandalous and hypersexual remain, yet Blum’s choreography offers something new and exciting for diehard fans. Each dance is elaborate and many are dizzying: bodies writhe, fly, twist, grind, and in some cases, hang limp from other bodies that write, fly, twist and grind.
