The article discusses performing arts. At the Ballet Theatre's recent New York engagement, one important new feature was the performances of Rosella Hightower and Erik Bruhn in the roles that used to be danced by Alicia Alonso and Igor Youskevitch. Bruhn, executing his leaps and turns with disciplined elegance and noble style, was in every instance a satisfying and impressive replacement; Hightower's normal operation was an exuberant virtuosity punctuated by grand-ballerina-style poses, instead of the sustained continuity in plastic movement in which such poses are moments of emphasis and climax.
