The Bay Area’s powerhouse dance company Smuin Ballet kicks off its 25th season with a performance of several new works by a variety of choreographers. This year’s Dance Series 01 includes a tribute to the late diva Etta James; founder Michael Smuin’s piece inspired by the iconic work of the sculptor Rodin, as well as his classic ballet set to Schubert; and a trio of pieces from Smuin performers-turned-choreographers. The show runs through Feb. 24 with two performances on Saturday and a Sunday matinee.
