When spring is in the air, ballet is all about light and airy. With the five pieces performed Saturday night at the Scott Theatre, that's mostly what we got from Ballet Frontier of Texas

Whether it's a greater depth in movement qualities, better precision, more commitment to the characters or increased energy in performance, each concert brings an improvement all can be proud of. Even in the elements they lack, Ballet Frontier strives towards an excellence you can see in each performance

If a sign of a ballet company's growth is that its Nutcracker is more artistically successful than the previous year's, then Ballet Frontier of Texas is on its way up.
