Ballet Boyz Greatest Hits!, Sadler's Wells, London

Over seven years, Ballet Boyz William Trevitt and Michael Nunn have built an adventurous company, focused on new work. Their range and ambition has been admirable. Characteristically, even this Greatest Hits! programme sneaks in a little new work, alongside a group of past successes.

Those successes are all obvious choices: a number first danced with Sylvie Guillem, a ballet by the in-demand choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, the tango created by Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood. These are some of the Boyz' highest-profile commissions, award-winners. Yet they make a low-key evening, despite some smooth dancing.

Russell Maliphant's award-winning Broken Fall was created for Trevitt, Nunn and star ballerina Guillem, whose role is now danced by Oxana Panchenko. It's a series of balances, lifts and falls. Dancers lean against each other, then let go. Panchenko drops from Trevitt's shoulders, caught just before she hits the floor.

The piece is acrobatic without being spectacular, a series of trust exercises. Barry Adamson's music crackles and hums alongside. I can admire the close work of these three dancers, Nunn's grounded moves against Trevitt's elegance, but it isn't exciting.

There's more to Wheeldon's Mesmerics. Wheeldon arranges his five dancers in canons to Philip Glass's music, or links them in intricate duets. The Royal Ballet's Edward Watson, guest starring, moves sleekly through the poses. Malgorzata Dzierzon, a former Rambert dancer, is boldly assured in the overhead partnering.

Watson and Panchenko stalk through Rafael Bonachela's EdOx. There's not much to it: bending, folding, Panchenko pulling at her tunic. The dancers give it focus and bite.

The last of the hits is Yumba vs Nonino, Revel Horwood's tango for Trevitt and Nunn. Their dancing is sharper and more deadpan than ever, the footwork crisper. The danced confrontation uses the Boyz' stage presence, their authority and humour, better than anything else in this programme.

Trevitt and Nunn have been brave and canny in running their company. Part of that cleverness is in their use of their own personalities. Even in a muted evening, they know how to reach an audience.
