Ballet West’s “Journey & Reflections”: Humanity, war and heaven walk into a ballet…—a review

Ballet West’s “Journeys and Reflections” is, in a word, stunning. Telling three separate stories in three distinct technical styles, this show is sure to keep you entertained.

It is perfect for both the seasoned patron and the first time ballet admirer. The company is expressive, impressive and lovely.

“Chaconne” is a piece choreographed originally by the great George Balanchine. It is a heavenly spectacle reminiscent of 18th century court dances. Don’t be fooled by the sparkling etherial costumes and flirtatious smiling air, though; these dances are extremely challenging although you wouldn’t know that from watching Ballet West do them.
