This demandingly athletic dance is set to the infectious rhythm of Brazilian Batucada folk music. It features eight men demonstrating their strength and dexterity through images of body building and martial arts. A quintet of women dominates this work, attacking Balanchine's unbalancing, free-footed solos and intricate compositions with wide smiles and beautifully long lines. Lucky for us, they succeed only for an instant. Let's hope the same is true for the rest of a promising Atlanta Ballet season.
