Our Arts Correspondent Kevin Richmond brought you the best of dance performances in Basel in the coming months. He started with the opening season 2016 of Theater Basel: on the Kleine Bühne, you have AEROBICS! as part of the Theater Festival 2016, which is a ballet in three acts. Then there's Ballett Extra in the Schauspielhaus with Bettina Fisher and Pacific Quartet Vienna. You also have Jeanne d'Arc and Cacti making a few performances early in the dance season. Kaserne Basel is showing Sound of Music by Yan Duyvendak, and for a short run in November at the Musical Theater, you have West Side Story and Chicago.
