Dance review: San Francisco Ballet in New York Oct 15, 2008
Saturday's program closed with a spectacular performance of Balanchine's "The Four Temperaments." It's at once classic and modern, mirroring the music of Paul Hindemith that accompanies it, and the company made the most of this masterwork.

"The Four Temperaments" is starkly abstract despite the symbolism of its characters; it blows apart classical ballet conventions, with its turned-in knees and thrusting pelvises, its splayed legs and pushed-to-the-breaking-point metatarsals.
