“Rubies” takes its tone from Stravinsky, whose strident rhythms rewrote the classical music rule book. It is always a crowd pleaser with 20 minutes of high velocity action. Maia Makhateli and Remi Wörtmeyer were on brilliant form, brimming with audacity and thrilling in their virtuosity. Makhateli flipped her extensions sky high with impudence while Wörtmeyer attained new levels of velocity with spins and leaps that left the audience gasping. Igone de Jongh has everything in her favour as the solo girl: hip bones with attitude, a body of perfect Balanchine proportions and the right balance of insouciance and arrogance.
