Its chosen form of dance is the one most weighted by tradition, but there's nothing draggy about this longtime dance company. Ballet Austin can take the most obligatory of ballets - The Nutcracker being an obvious example - and make it spring freshly to life. And with original work, such as artistic director Lambros Lambrou's full-length ballet Ulysses, BA takes thrilling leaps into space. It's a troupe nimbly en pointe.
