The venue is a stage built by Asolo Repertory Theatre out in front of the FSU Center for the Performing Arts, the home to both organizations, and a really pleasant spot to watch an hour’s worth of dance. The seats are well spaced out, and everyone wears a mask. The 6 p.m. start time means the sun slowly fades from the sky as the evening progresses.
On the sold-out weekend program, which runs through Monday, is a grab-bag of excerpts: the “Friends’ Dance” from “Coppélia”; a demonstration of male technique by Christopher Hird, head of the Trainee program; an ensemble from “Swan Lake”; another ensemble, from “Le Corsaire”; a male duet from a 2015 piece, “Choke,” by Dwight Roden, director of Complexions Contemporary Ballet. It concludes with a full performance of Graziano’s “Fiera de Castro.”
