DANCE

Northern Ballet Theatre are dancing Christopher Gable's latest crack at Don Quixote (right). The mixture of broad comedy and balletic fireworks guarantees audience pleasure. Grand Theatre Leeds to Sat; Theatre Royal, Nottingham, Tue 12-Sat 16 Mar

Adventures in Motion Pictures dance Matthew Bourne's wildly acclaimed rethink of Swan Lake in which Odette and the Swans are danced by a man and the young Prince Siegfried talks to the birds in an attempt to find some meaning to his life. Birmingham Hippodrome Tue 12-Sat 16 Mar

Sylvie Guillem is in London this week for two performances of Giselle which she approaches with her usual rigorous intelligence and dances with transcendent ease. La Guillem may not always convince as a dozy, dance-crazed forest dweller, but the experience is none the less draining for that. Royal Opera House, London WC2, Tue 12, Thur 14 Mar
